Green fire is for all specs. As above said, burning rush is the only fire spell we demo locks have; back when the green fire quest came out, it turned our meta form green, and gave ua a green immolation aura! It was truly glorious!
- Evacuate everyone from the Hybrid Cube immediately.
- After everyone is clear, check to determine if the fire can easily be put out. If the fire is too large, or the fire is fuel-fed, stay clear of the Hybrid Cube and have the fire department manage the emergency.
MAINTENANCE:
To ensure the fire extinguisher(s) will be ready when needed:
Read and follow all instructions on the label and in this manual.
Inspect the extinguisher AT LEAST once a month - more frequently if exposed to weather or possible tampering.
Check that extinguisher is charged. Pointer on pressure indicator MUST be in green section. If pointer is in red or white section extinguisher is NOT ready for use.
Be sure the lock pin is firmly in place.
Keep the extinguisher clean. Check for dents, scratches, corrosion or any other damage.
Check the discharge nozzle. Make sure it is clean and free of obstructions.
Years ago, drivers fearlessly climbed into their racecars wearing only cotton T-shirts and jeans. These days, most of us are more informed about driver safety and the importance of being protected from head-to-toe in any racing event. The ability of someone to emerge from a burning car virtually unscathed is a direct result of this recent increase in personal safety awareness.
Of course, racing is inherently risky but the chance of injury can be reduced if you take the time to protect yourself properly. Personal safety is a system of the driver suit, accessories, and helmet. The hub of this system is the driver suit.
What does this mean to the consumer? It means that there is a way to differentiate the quality-assured products from the untested products. A driver suit that is certified to meet the SFI spec has been laboratory tested and has passed the requirements of that test. Before getting into the details of the testing procedures, it is necessary to understand what the SFI Foundation is and what it does.
SFI is a non-profit organization established to issue and administer standards for specialty/performance automotive and racing equipment. This includes parts like clutch assemblies and fuel cells as well as personal driver safety items.
The TPP rating is the product of exposure heat flux and exposure time. The TPP results can be converted to the time before a second degree burn occurs. The higher the garment rating, the more time before a second degree burn. Here are the SFI ratings with the corresponding TPP values and times to a second degree burn:
Another test included in the spec is the after-flame test. When a direct flame is applied the fabric and them removed, the time it takes the material to self-extinguish is measured. This is called after-flame time and it must be 2.0 seconds or less for the layer of fabric to pass. Cuff material is also subjected to this test.
The TPP test can be used to evaluate multiple-layer configurations as well as single-layer fabrics. The samples used in testing are assembled with the identical fabrics and layer order as an actual driver suit.
A common misunderstanding about SFI ratings is that they represent the number of fabric layers in the garment. It is actually possible for driver suits with various numbers of layers to have the same performance rating. This is due to the wide range of materials used by manufacturers today.
The radiant heat portion of the spec is significant because the majority of racer burns are caused by heat transfer rather than direct flame. Insulation is the best way to prevent this kind of burn. Using multiple layers of fabric helps keep the heat source away from the skin longer because each layer creates air gaps that have to heat up. The extra seconds gained with each layer are precious to a driver trying to escape from a burning car.
Another way to obtain extra air gaps is to wear racing underwear. Fire resistant underwear should be worn with every type of driver suit, especially single layer suits because it will double the minimum protection time (+3 seconds). The 3.2A rating does not include underwear. It is certified through SFI Spec 3.3 for Driver Accessories and undergoes the same TPP and flammability tests as the driver suit outerwear.
Avoid wearing your suit while working on the car. Not only would you be ruining an expensive piece of equipment, but you would essentially be inviting a fire to burn you. Grease, fuel, oil, and even cleaning fluids can soak into the fabric and support the flames of a fire, causing high heat. Fluids soaked into a suit also produce steam when exposed to heat and cause liquid vaporization burns.
If you are ever involved in a fire, discard your suit and get a new one. Even the smallest singe is a weak spot in the material and can cause a problem if exposed to fire again. Proper maintenance of a driver suit will help extend its useful life and provide you with years of protection.
Auto racing is the fastest, most exciting sport in the world and with speed comes danger. Drivers put themselves at risk every time they climb into their racing machines. Fortunately, there is a program in the form of the SFI Foundation to help guide drivers in choosing quality protective equipment.
While gypsum boards are stronger in one direction, they may be installed either vertically or horizontally on both wood and steel studs. If the boards are to be used in a fire rated assembly, then use the board orientation that is stated in your specific rated assembly.
According to the Gypsum Association publication GA-231, gypsum board should not be allowed to get wet; it should be covered if stored outside. However, there are situations where the board could get wet during transportation/storage or when installed in-place. If the board gets wet in an installed in-place situation, first remove the sources of moisture. Lay the board on a flat surface and allow it to dry out thoroughly. Once the board is dry, examine it for paper-to-core bond and mold and mildew growth. If installed, examine for nail pops and sag (in the case of ceilings). Paper-to-core bond failure and board sag are irreversible damage, and the board should be replaced. For nail pops, place a fastener an inch above or below any popped-up nail.
There is not a fire rating on an individual board. The fire rating is based on an entire assembly (studs, board, fasteners, etc.) being tested together. Please consult the Gypsum Association GA-600 Fire Design Manual or UL Fire Resistance Directory for specifics on a particular fire-rated assembly. For additional information concerning fire ratings and fire safety, go to www.buildgp.com/safetyinfo.
Placement of control joints are determined by the design professional. When they are not designated, the requirement for ceilings and walls is the same. A control joint should be installed every 30 feet when there is not perimeter relief. When there is perimeter relief, control joints can be installed every 50 feet.

Elemental mages are a lame concept, especially the single element type we have as 2/3 specs.
Frost kind of makes it more interesting with the pet, but not by much.
Fire is lame as can be.
Arcane mages is where the true wizardry lies.
Pros: Control, overall very reliable (not too spiky) damage and I like the frost theme/style.
Cons: Can get boring quickly and currently too reliant on procs to do decent damage while FB tickles the target (apart from the Ice Form PvP build).
Then I went Frost for the entirety of MoP up until HFC came out, because it was a strong PVP spec and I loved my water elemental. Shattering people in a Deep Freeze (rip) was incredibly satisfying.
Frost has always been the PVP spec for me, lately Fire has the numbers but I still see Frost as PVP orientated.
