Good Afternoon Kyle,
I would be interested in the opinion of your local Fire Department's Inspector for such matters. For example, every time we install a new temporary exhibit or, traveling exhibit, we call the local Fire Department to do an inspection of the area. They even check to see if the water sprinkler system is not compromised by the placement of exhibit components and other temporary exhibit walls and furnishings.
Best Wishes,
Wesley

Subject: Education Demos Using Fire
ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************
Hey all,
I have a quick question regarding using fire (contained flame) in a education demo on a museum floor. Does your institution have guidelines or protocols that dictate if, when, and where you can use fire as part of a program? If so, how strict are those guidelines and how did your museum decide what was acceptable and what was a danger to staff and visitors? And what sort of legal/operational hurdles did you face to get that point?
Any insight you can provide would be greatly appreciated!
Please feel free to respond offline to my office email below. Thanks!
