			Oddity: Perpetual Fire: The fire on the south edge of the trench will spread until it self extinguishes at the north-east corner (it takes 40minutes, 14seconds to die). Any debris (not grass) from the crash landing will ignite from the passing fire, burn, spread and die down as expected. The previously burnt debris will then ignite again from the adjacent on-fire tile - never dying. The debris from the sewer pipe, the piles against the UFO hull and debris streaks parallel with the trench are all perpetual fires.<br>
