Some people have burnt when they walked across hot coals, however, of the millions of people throughout the world that have walked through the ambers on a very small percentage of people have suffered any serious burns.

Q. I have taken part in a Fire Walk before what is different about a Flaming Success Fire Walk?
A.  Have you taken part in a fire walk with thousands of other participants in a car park?  This description may paint an uninspiring image of what other Fire Walk organizers have to offer, however, many people experience a huge shift when they have attended such an event.  We offer you something far more exciting and primal that the more common and conventional Fire Walk.  We offer you a Fire Walk in an inspirational location, back to nature and more connected with Mother Earth.  Our events are more spiritual and holistically focused than other Fire Walk Events.  We want to empower you and give you a total sensory experience that will get you out of your head and into your body.

Q. How long is the coal bed at a typical firewalk?
A. Firewalking classes open to the public usually have coal beds between 8 and 12 feet long.

Q. What is the record for the longest Fire Walk?
A. The official world record is currently 220 ft. However, a number of people have also walked a 40 ft coal bed, back and forth, without leaving the coals, 13 times: accomplishing a 520-foot fire walk.

Q. What kinds of wood are used for firewalking?
A. Incense cedar or white birch produce the best coal beds. Some other woods either reduce themselves to ash too quickly, produce sharp-edges on the coals, or exude sap and gum that can stick to a person's foot.

Q. Why have there been recent news stories about people being burned during fire walking seminars?
A. Contrary to the view of many skeptics, there is definitely an inherent risk when fire walking. For this reason, people are advised to only participate in fire walking classes conducted by Firewalking Institute of Research & Education (F.I.R.E.) certified instructors.  Tolly Burkan founded F.I.R.E over 15 years ago and we are certified F.I.R.E. Instructors.

Q. Where did Fire Walking originate?
A. There is not one specific answer to this question as  Fire Walking actually predates written history. There are accounts of Fire Walking among the Hawaiian Kahuna, who walked across hot lava flows. The Vikings are reported to have walked on red-hot steel chains. Native Americans carry out Fire Walks and Fijians also walk across hot stones. A number of Christian saints were said to have Fire Walked. Fire Walking has taken part across the globe throughout history and seems to be a part of many diverse cultures on a number of continents.

Q. Are children able to attend Fire Walking Events?
A. Individual instructors each have their own policy regarding the issue of children attending the class. Participants have ranged in age from 4 years old to 89 years old. At smaller events Flaming Success will allow children to attend but not allow them to actually walk. This has to be pre agreed with Flaming Success on an individual basis. Just being present, and witnessing others walk, can be a life-changing experience for children.
