In order to be approved for using any live flame on stage (even a candle) we must write a Live Flame Plan and get it approved by the local Fire Marshall and by the GFU Director of Safety.
The plan should include every detail about the live flame including contact information; locations, dates and times of all rehearsals and performances; step-by-step descriptions of all actions that involve live flame and names of all people who are involved in those actions; and descriptions of all safety measures.
Here is a copy of our Live Flame Plan for our production of The Broken in 2012.
Please note that this is a specific arrangement we made with our Fire Marshall at this university at a specific time for a specific event. It is offered here as a help, but may not be sufficient for your situation. Get to know your local Fire Marshall. She will help you know what you need to know.
