Our daf discusses a number of options regarding one who fans a flame which causes damage to another's property. Is one's breath the same as the wind? What if the wind was fanning the flame while a person was using his breath on the flame? What if the wind was stronger than the person's breath? What if the wind was typical? Or atypical?
We explore the use of fire in antiquity and the science behind the interaction between wind and fire in natural disasters and their legal implications for liability.
