	* Initial "impact" damage from incendiary ammunition is either for no points (unit does not catch fire), or between 5-10 points (unit catches fire). Since the distribution is randomly chosen from the set [ 0, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 ] (seven values), the probability of remaining unharmed is 14% (1/7), while there is an 86% chance (6/7) a unit will take some damage.

The average damage is 6.4.

	* Units standing in a blaze (as opposed to being on fire themselves) will receive between 1-12 damage points, most likely determined by the flammability rating of their tile ([[MCD]] offset 45). The chance of catching fire is determined by an if-then statement: IF Random(100)<40Damage Modifier/100 THEN Catch Fire. So for example, a normal unarmored soldier (with a damage modifier to IN=100) has a probability of catching fire of: Random(100)<40100/100 = Random(100)<40 ~~Which~~ means that rookie will catch fire 40% of the time. From a previous 6000+ trial conducted by [[User:Zombie\|Zombie]] soldiers have a 33% chance of catching fire. It's unknown why these numbers don't match, but it's possible the sample size was still too small.		* Units standing in a blaze (as opposed to being on fire themselves) will receive between 1-12 damage points, most likely determined by the flammability rating of their tile ([[MCD]] offset 45).

	* Once lit, units burn for a slightly random amount of time, taking 5-10 damage points each turn. (If units fall unconscious, they do not continue to burn.) Thus the average total damage is 21.5 points (3 x 7.5), but could be as high as 50. Compare that [[Alien Stats\|alien health values]] range from 30 to 120... it can kill or seriously damage ~~sectoids~~, ~~floaters~~ (if on ground!), and maybe ~~snakes~~, but barely warms up ~~mutons~~. Terrorists are hardly touched (but now you might have their attention). Unsurprisingly, the equation used to determine how long a unit will remain on fire depends on the damage modifier of the unit in question: MaxTime=5Damage Modifier/100, Duration=Random(MaxTime).

	* Smoke and flames do not mix. Only one type may exist on a particular tile on a particular turn. To quickly smother a blaze simply drop a primed [[Smoke Grenade]] in the center. This is a fairly useful trick for unarmored soldiers who want to safely cross a blaze without waiting for it to burn out by itself. But remember, you can cross a blaze safely - just don't stop in or next to one.		* Smoke and flames do not mix. Only one type may exist on a particular tile on a particular turn.
