peer agreement (net): +1no source of flame Explanation: is what it has to be. IOW, no gas welding sets, no bunsen burners, no cigarette lighters, etc. In addition to the common sense of "fireplace", "foyer" means precisely this, the source of a fire. When the hills of Provence are ablaze, the number of "foyers" for a given fire is an indication of the deliberate nature of the fire. |
