Fire Teller

Fire Teller

Your knowledge is fire.  You understand how to create and maintain a fire, 
as well as it's many purposes.  You will research specifically which type of 
wood/plant/resource/method is needed for it's creation.  Also, what is used 
to maintain it (keep it burning despite the rain)? RUBBING TWO STICKS 
TOGETHER IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.  

After you make your fire, you need to convince the hominids how it can 
impact and sustain their survival.  How will you persuade your group to make 
this a part of their every day lives?  How will you show them how to utilize 
it best?
