No- mostly site owners who don't want 'accidents', and they can probably
blame their insurance carrier but I've never seen a policy with anything
about No Candles At Banquets. Particularly since so many of our feast sites
are also wedding reception favorites, and you know there's candles there!

_Outdoors_ is another matter- there frequently are laws about open flame,
so fires, torches, etc., are right out. Best for the autocrat to find out
ahead of time and put it in the copy.

-plenty of smoke and fire in Oregon! Want some? ;-)
