The sport "Firebreak" was proposed in Discord, and I wanted to save it publicly (slrpnk.net)

Firebreak! A game of directable fire. With it's origins in the burning years and needing to train children to handle PPE for smoke, it's gradually evolved into a more playful mode. Over several days the competitors build quickwood structures and an artificial forest. The teams have "home trees" to protect and defend, and a limited supply of water to extinguish it. The central artificial forest is ignited and let spread before the teams can leave (leaf) their home trees. The sport supports a variable amount of teams. In some rural areas It's also considered a coming of age ritual in forested areas, which imparts valuable lessons about life and rescue work.

It’s also considered a coming of age ritual in forested areas

could also see this as instilling the difference between respecting fire and fearing fire
as well as passing on knowledge of indigenous controlled burns
