How should flame effects be secured when not in use?

When flame effects are not in use, they must be stored safely to prevent unauthorized access or accidental ignition. This practice is essential for ensuring safety in environments where flame effects are employed. Proper storage minimizes the risk of untrained individuals encountering these effects, which could lead to accidental ignition or misuse.

By securing flame effects effectively, you also reduce the risk of fire hazards and ensure compliance with safety regulations such as those outlined in the NFPA 160 standard. This standard emphasizes the importance of safety measures to protect performers, crew members, and the audience from potential dangers associated with flame effects. Thus, proper storage not only preserves the integrity of the equipment but also enhances overall safety at the venue.
