Fire Skills

Humans have used fire for at least 400,000 years. It's arguably the foundational technology — cooking, warmth, light, protection. And yet most adults in 2026 can't build a reliable campfire, don't know what their fireplace damper does, and would panic if a grease fire erupted on their stove. This skill covers the practical fire knowledge you actually need: how to build and maintain fires for recreation and warmth, how to grill without poisoning anyone, and critically, how to respond when fire becomes an emergency instead of a tool.
