Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures:
The object must be kept in a ventilated containment chamber constructed out of nonflammable materials with a low heat conductivity. The object's containment chamber must be kept submerged and the water cycled out twice daily to prevent the object from reaching too high of a temperature. The object's chamber should also be kept near an appropriate source of water.
Once every seventy two hours a gallon of water is to be dumped onto the object by two D-class personnel wearing thermal protective suits capable of blocking any amount of heat produced by the object. No other personnel should enter the containment chamber under any circumstances except a current containment breach caused by the object itself in which D-class personnel may not be available to extinguish the object.
The interior of the chamber's ambient temperature must be constantly monitored and the object extinguished immediately if the the temperature ever rises above thirty six degrees Celcius.
SCP-XXXX must never be extinguished by any means other than water. If SCP-XXXX is extinguished by any means other than water, then a containment breach is to be announced and the site evacuated until an available MTF team arrives and properly extinguishes the object.
Under no circumstances are any flammable substances to be placed near or into the object. Any person caught doing so will be demoted to D-class personnel or terminated. If this does happen then a containment breach is to be announced with the same procedure as above.
Anyone found close to the object staring directly at it are to be immediately removed and given a psychological evaluation followed by three days quarantine if so deemed necessary.
Description:
SCP-XXXX is a campfire made from four 30.5 centimeter long logs of an indeterminate species of tree placed into a slanted crisscross shaped similarly to a hashtag symbol. The flames of the object burn a bright red color and approximately 31 centimeters high under normal circumstances.
The logs of the object appear to be freshly cut and show no signs of damage caused by the constant burning. The logs are impossible to pull apart or damage through any means currently known.
The object normally burns at a temperature of approximately twenty eight degrees Celcius with a range of thermal radiation approximately one meter in diameter.
When in its burning state the object infinitely creates energy in the form of heat. The heat created by the object does not become absorbed by objects with a low heat conductivity, rather the heat is destroyed instead of transferring into potential energy. The object's primary anomalous effect manifests when a human absorbs the heat.
The human subject will undergo a series of symptoms until either taken out of the range of SCP-XXXX's thermal radiation or having experienced fifty seconds of exposure.
First the affected subject will report mildly intense euphoria and feelings of calm nature. After three seconds of exposure the subject will experience a mild feeling of safety. After six seconds the subject will have a difficulty averting their eyes will begin to loose any immediate desire to leave the range of thermal radiation of SCP-XXXX. After nine seconds the subject will have no willingness to leave the range of thermal radiation and will respond violently to any attempt to remove them from the object.
After twenty seconds of exposure the subject will experience flashbacks of fire related memories regardless of whether the memories have been forgotten or even if the memories are considered positive to the subject. Once these flashbacks manifest the subject will be incapable of leaving the object or averting their gaze from the object of their own free will.
After thirty seconds of exposure the subject will experience a growing intensity of heat in their chest cavity. After forty seconds of exposure the subject will exhibit symptoms of extreme dehydration and heat exhaustion, but the subject will be incapable of leaving or looking away from the object despite a possible growing feeling of panic or concern. After fifty seconds of exposure the subject will show forth degree burns followed by catching fire and spontaneously combusting. Any final remains of subject after sixty seconds of exposure will catch fire and burn until nothing remains but ash and dust.
SCP-XXXX's flame can only be safely extinguished by water. After being extinguished by water the fire will reignite after three hours if the logs are not submerged in water. If the logs are submerged in water for twenty four hours then the logs will increase in temperature until the water it is submerged in evaporates. The rate of temperature increase is unpredictable and containment concerning keeping the logs submerged in water was no longer recommended after incident-XXXX-1 in which the logs melted through the metal floor of a transport vehicle.
SCP-XXXX's secondary anomalous effect manifests when extinguished by any method other than water or exposed to flammable material. When extinguished by any method other than water, the object reignites five seconds later and the flame's size, temperature, and range of thermal radiation will begin to rapidly increase. During this event, the heat produced by the object will be capable of passing through most solid objects. This event can only be halted by extinguishing it with water. Although this event slows down if the object makes contact with a large source of water and the object can only increase in temperature.
If the object is allowed to instantly incinerate any flammable material it is exposed to then an event identical to above will occur with the exception of the event being three times as severe as normal.
Addendum:
The object was discovered in [Redacted] National Forest in [Redacted]. The object was found near a campsite submerged in a small puddle of unknown material following a routine investigation of a possible anomaly stemming from a series of [Redacted] missing people in the same area.
Upon being removed from the unknown material the object immediately ignited and the subjected to its effect the entirety of the team except for Field Researcher [Redacted] who saved the life of two other personnel on the recovery team.
The researcher contacted site-[Redacted] and MTF Epsilon-9 (AKA "Fire Eaters") was sent to assist with containment of the object.
The Mobile Task Force found the remainder of the team under effect of the object and immediately removed them from the area and extinguished the object. The Remainder of the team reported that they were attempting to remove the others from the object and were unable to do so when they all [Redacted] causing them to loose concentration on helping their teammates and causing them to fall under the object's effect.
