hmmmmmmmmm, that's a good point. I'm in an apartment too... I know that if we find like a store's parking lot it's considered private property and we can burn there without any trouble ( I don't really know anyplace, but if you do...) At the park we might be able to argue ourselves into the the recreational category; "Recreational fires are those fires that burn clean, dry wood or charcoal where the fuel is not contained in an incinerator, outdoor fireplace, barbecue grill, or barbecue pit and with a total fuel area of three feet or less in diameter and two feet or less in height for pleasure, religious, ceremonial, cooking, warmth or other similar purposes." If we stay on the parking lot and take the obvious safety precautions (bucket of water, wet towel), we might be ok. I don't know, I'd be willing to risk it, (I haven't lit up in FOREVER). We could try it at the park, see what happens... If you don't want to, I completely understand. (Paying people to spin fire is silly, we'll find somewhere.)
