These actually happen fairly often, given the desire to have a full days' 
fighting and a full court. _And_ sometimes there are torchlight tourneys, 
which can be pretty cool.

Of course all bets are off during fire season- a lot of our camping events 
are held at state parks or forestry sites up in the mountains- and we have 
no desire to add to the already high incidence of forest fires. Checking 
the fire danger levels is something autocrats have to do, and something 
that attendees should do too. And be prepared to have enclosed flame or no 
flame lighting if needed.
