Old Fire Safety patch

Fire Safety

Changed in 2018

Fire Safety was an honor created by several members of the PathfindersOnline forum, when it was still an active community. The first patch fabricated for this honor displayed a fire extinguisher spouting out flames, as if it were a blowtorch. This is obviously the complete opposite of what the honor requirements intend. The patch was corrected to show an extinguisher spraying foam instead.
