NARRATIVE
            The fire syringe rapidly compresses air, heating it to the kindling point of a small piece of cotton or tissue. Loosely place a small piece of cotton or tissue into the bottom of the tube. Place the tube in the metal safety tube. Quickly depress the   plunger to compress the air and ignite the material.
