Firewalking is stepping barefoot over a bed of hot embers. It is practised by cultures in many parts of the world; as a rite of passage, a test of courage, or a test of faith.

People from all backgrounds have taken part in firewalks. Most want to take on a different kind of challenge to raise money for a good cause or a Charity. It is a spectacular way to attract sponsorship.

Firewalking is safe because the foot does not touch the hot surface long enough to burn, and embers are poor conductors of heat. Adult walkers (16 and above) are trained by Blaze www.blazefirewalking.com whilst the bed of embers is prepared.

Each walker is escorted across the embers with all the necessary safety precautions. Once a walker has crossed the embers their walk is complete and they receive their certificate.
