I know parents who removed the door from their kid's room because she was playing with matches in her room.
I mean, I'd have removed the matches.
The Russians used a pencil.
Which coincindentally burn, so NASA made non-flammable pens to save lives, which even the Russians now use, cuz there are no fire departments in space.

Seems to form an orb.
