Note to self: Keep long hair away from open flames...
Well, the bottom line is that everything is fine.
The longer story is that I was doing a demo of our new fire bowl for our architects yesterday afternoon. The fire shows much better at night (obviously) because of the light, and it actually makes me a little nervous when I turn it on during the day because the flames are hard to see.
So, when I was lighting it yesterday, I turned on the gas (obviously higher than I should have) and lit it with a butane lighter.
WHOOSH
Yep, I was a little too close when it lit, and it actually singed part of my hair!
It wasn't much - just a little on the side, and I'm totally fine. Just a little weirded out.
Lesson learned: don't turn gas on too high, and it would probably be prudent to sit to the side when lighting...
