You will first have to contact your municipality and see if they allow outdoor "recreation" fires. We built one in our back yard and used redbrick to do it. Dig a pit aprox 1 to 1&1/2 feet deep, and as wide as you need it. Level out bottom. Line with redbrick. Leave sides earthen. You have to remember to not stack the bricks around the top, this will prevent air flow.If you want a finished look for the top use one layer of bricks turned on their side so the holes in the bricks let the fire get air. If you just want an outdoor fire ring that you can cook on look on Gander Mountain's website. You will need to order a catolog, it's free. They sell fire rings that are somewhat inexpensive and you can put your cooking racks right on top to cook. We have both and use the ring more than the pit it's easier and can be taken inside over he winter. I hope this helps you out. Good Luck!!!\nhttp://www.gandermountain.com

Try to do somthing with Fire wall!

Use cardboard, clay, or sugar cubs.  Cardoard would be the easiest.

practice as to what they should do when there will be a fire

my recomendation would be to have a fire wall in addition.

u will need access 2 an arc welder. find the metal u want(get a lot of heavy duty metal that will b easy 2 cary) \n\nstep1 cut the metal u will use 4 the top piece 2 the size u want with a gas welding torch\n\nstep2 cut the metal u will use 4 the 3 legs to the same size as each other but wutever height u want.\n\nstep3 weld the leg pieces together with a flat piece of metal to make a "T" (u will have 3 "T"s)\n\nstep4 weld the "T"s upside-down 2 the top bar.\n\nstep5 add a kinda thin (probly 1/8 inch) piece of metal 2 the top of the top bar (make t 1/8 inch pice about eight inches longer than the bar)\n\nstep6 weld the pieces 2gether\n\nstep7 bend the ends downward a lil bit\n\nstep8 now go use it!

its pretty simple.\nyou need a pvc or pvp or whatever the fuck its called,pipe. some hairspray(seriously) a potato and a match. spray mad hairspray at the bottom of the pipe, insert potato. and light it up. (the tricky part is introducing the flame to the fuel.

You will need lots of it, depending on the size of the fire. It will cover the flame the same as sand would excluding the air that makes burning possible.

Sorry I'm the kind of teacher you parents despair of because thats the kind of home work I'd set.  My class have to design and make a thermal insulator to stop ice melting this week!!!\n\nTry this link it might help\nhttp://www.volcanolive.com/model.html

considering ur trying coal or other burning material as fuel.\n\nif the ash content is more means then the heat conductivity will be less from core of the fire.\n\nash is formed due to loosely packed material and has very less heat in it.\n\nash has less sp.heat capacity.

If you are referring to a flaming arrow as lighting a campfire ... here you go:\n\n**The Powered Flaming Arrow**\n\nThis next variation is a much more complex, but much cooler. It can be done in an area where the closest tree is up to 200 yards away. \n\nConstructing this modified version takes a while longer, but if it is set up correctly, it is well worth the effort. \n\nFor this version you will need to use some kind of wire instead of kite string. This is a little more expensive, especially if you need a couple hundred feet. Using insulated wire works better than bare metal. \n\nTake your wire and fasten it onto a stake in towards the back of the fire ring. Run the other end up into a tree making sure that the wire is clear of branches. \n\nNow the fun part, take a flare, a dowel, a model rocket engine (size B or C), and some duck tape. With this assemble a unit where the dowel is taped above the flare, and the engine behind the dowel. Once you have made some kind of assembly (make sure the flare is pointing forwards and the engine is pointing backwards) cut 3 pieces of the wire into about 4 inch segments. Make a loop in the middle, and fasten the 3 loops to the flare assembly making sure you put the loops on the main wire first. \n\nTie a string to the flare and pull it up into the tree. Now put an ignitor in the engine and hook it up to a battery ignitor. Now you are ready to build your fire. Remember to put plenty of dry tinder so it will easily catch when the dowel hits. Suggestionfor use - a bag of pine shaving hampster litter. \n\n*Hint: Have the dowel extend out past the flare so when it hits the stake in the fire pit it protects the flare from snuffing out. \n\nWhen the participants arrive have one person up in the tree ready with a lighter to light the flare. The MC of the fire should have some kind of script like, "I call upon the spirits of the trees to send forth a ball of fire to light our fire!" This can be adapted and modified to make it more special and magical. Once this is said, the flare is to be lit, wait a few seconds, and ignite the engine. If all this is done correctly your flare should come speeding into the fire ring, it will be dark for a few seconds, then your fire will come alive.

The first thing is to collect together a range of different wood thicknesses. You need a good supply of kindling (bark, very small twigs, etc. Build a pyramid, and at the centre of the pyramid put paper and bark. Build up round this using twigs and sticks up to a finger in diameter. Put a few slightly thicker sticks round the outside.\nLight the match and put it inside the pyramid so it lights the paper. Gradually add thicker twigs as the wood catches.

what size are we talking here? small use some of that packing material and use a exacto (sp) knife to form, shape sides roof , put it together with something that won't melt the Styrofoam

If you mean one that  puts out fires, that is going to be quite a challenge. You must start with a robot that can move around and then locate heat.

Make two wooden structures, size depends on how much ground you have and how much material you will have to compost.  If you can get horse manure or cow dung, put a small amount at the base, add almost anything to the second layer, then a layer of soil. Do not disturb it.  Continue until it reaches the top of the structure you made.  Leave that one and start on the second.  It will take you probably a year before you can use the first by which time the second will be 'cooked' and ready.  Do not use rhubarb leaves. Do not use rose cuttings.  Use paper, cardboard, old cabbages including roots, all garden waste, kitchen waste but not including meats. Beware of silver paper and the tape on cardboard.  Everything else goes in.  It will generate heat but do not worry, it will not cause fire.  Don't forget the layers, each about six inches high. It will seem that the structure never fills but that's the break down taking effect.  Hope it helps, good luck.  ps.  If you have snakes in your area, they like to nest in compost heaps and curiously enough, depending on whether the female snake wants males or females, depends on where she lays her eggs!

Try doing flame tests; adding certain compounds to fire make really awesome colors; it's kind of like putting on your own fireworks show.  Check out http://webmineral.com/help/FlameTest.shtml
