Experimenting alchemists

Plenty of air is required for a fire to burn with glowing crimson flames. 

Give it way too much or add plenty of water and the fire's off!

Smoke occurs when the fire is dying off.

No wonder we got choked! Full of ugly coughs and tearful eyes, throbbing headaches and all sorts of aches. A post-mortem would read 'fire fumes intoxication'. Did you see how a little bit of fresh air and lack of rain just saved us? We owe it to the red dragon...

This fire needs tending dear... Cause, when crimson coals burn us from within our guts...all the way up and inside out... You and I will know exactly how it feels...to be the firemen putting out their own fire...
