Indoor and outdoor fire special effects pose threats to life and property. Follow the up-to-date guidelines in the 2001 edition of NFPA 160 to ensure correct:

• Design
• Installation

This Standard provides requirements for the protection of property operators, performers, support personnel and the viewing audience wherever flame effects are used. Its user-friendly format provides classifications for flame effects and then establishes system control requirements based upon the type of special effect.
