This article is about an older version of DF.

Fire-safe materials are Template:L Template:L that cannot catch on Template:L. These include Template:L, Template:L, and Template:L. Template:L is not a fire-safe material, and neither are Template:L or Template:L (even though they are Template:L). Fire-safe materials are only required when the object is going to come into contact with extreme heat, such as a Template:L, Template:L, Template:L, Template:L or Template:L, or for Template:L versions of these facilities.

Template:L materials, such as Template:L blocks, which are consumed in the purification of Template:L to produce Template:L, are considered fire-safe. It is perfectly fine to use Template:L as a flux material to make steel in a limestone smelter. Template:L is also a fire-safe material... somehow. Constructions will never melt or burn, regardless of what they're made of, but natural ice walls/floors/ramps/stairs will melt.

Not to be confused with Template:L. Many fire-safe materials will still melt when submerged in Template:L, but that is not necessary for buildings that are powered by the stuff or items like doors or floodgates that may be adjacent to or in contact with magma, but are never surrounded on all sides by it.
