Be smart around the hookah.  Play it safe. A good idea is to get a big  square of sheet tin thicker than tin foil for permanent use under the hookah to save on dirt, burnt holes in the wood or rug, Keep in mind that if  the round coals fall, they roll away far from the narghilah and could cause a fire, or burn someone nearby.
Read the article, its true to life.

gotta be careful arond the hookah coals.
Thanks for bringing out this safety message when smoking the hubbly bubbly.
I’ve burned enough holes in my rug to know that its important to be careful with the coals lit.
This is very sad, and only people need be more carful round coals and fire.
I too have burned more things around the nargilah than I wish I hadn’t. Its a problem, mostly the fast lite coal.
