Preventing Fire at the Field

The idea
Fire prevention at the field is a set of small habits followed every time an ignition source is used.
In practice
Holster the electrosurgical pencil, keep sponges moist, keep saline ready, warn anesthesia before using energy near the airway, and never coil cords around metal instruments.
Where people slip
Anyone on the team who sees a fire risk speaks up, whatever their role.
