Ownership and lifecycle

A managed fire is an element owned by the resource that created it, so stopping that resource extinguishes its fires. Server-created fires are synchronized to every client, and lifetime is tracked as relative remaining time so a client joining mid-burn receives what is left.

Important behavior

• A fire that should burn scenery but never hurt players is a mask change, not a separate system.
