Origins[]

On June 6, 1889, a worker in Victor Clairmont's cabinet making shop was heating up glue over a fire when the glue became overheated and caught on fire. The resulting fire destroyed the business district, some wharves and railroad terminals. The city of Seattle rebuilt, installing new fire regulations such as making new buildings out of stone and brick and putting dividing walls to prevent fires from spreading from one building to the next. The city grew and gained more more funds from the fire.

Effects[]

When near an open flame, the glue will combust and act like a campfire. Although generally harmless when monitored, pouring water on the glue increases the flames' size, heat and ferocity. Is neutralized by being kept within an airtight container so no gases can cause a fire.
