I've seen so many times lightning striking a tree and humans taking that fire and nurturing it carefully before learning to make it from scratch.
But I've never seen a depiction or read of scenario where humans got their fire from lava. I was thinking of this when I volunteered to help fire lava-spawned fires on the slopes of Mt. Etna back in the '70s. Lava bombs could set the pines on the slopes of the volcano ablaze very quickly, and we were a few of many flying squads that responded to smoke spotter reports.
So, is there some practical reason, other than having to live close to an active volcano of course, for lava-sourced fires not being the first source of our own fires? The Great Rift Valley has "a few" :rolleyes: volcanoes.
