Exodus 22:5 "If a fire breaks out and spreads through thorns..."

At camp, Aaron's group was hiking around the lake.

The sun was setting and they were searching for a good place to light a bonfire.

Aaron came upon an ideal spot and pointed it out to their counselor.

"It looks great," agreed the counselor. "But I'm afraid of that corn- field nearby. By accident, our fire may spark a flame that might catch onto the corn."

"You're right," said Aaron. "If a fire caught, we would be responsible for the damage!"

The group continued looking for a suitable site, deciding that it was better to be safe than sorry!

This Positive Mitzvah deals with laws applying to damage caused by a fire.
