Ants Firefight: Ants Extinguish Candle Like Firefighters
An Austrian amateur scientist Friedrich Gedde conducted an experiment in the Alps using a candle placed in a red ant hill. Ant workers quickly gathered around and studied the object, while the article notes ants deploying a liquid to extinguish flames.

Ants Gather Around Candle In Neighbor Hood Display
A man lights a candle to attract ants from the neighborhood. Ants stream in, some leap into the flame. Six dead ants line the candle rim while the crowd swells with excitement. Soon the large ants team up, approach cautiously, and climb onto the candle rim.
Ghee Star Creature Described Amid Strange Fire Scene
Fragmentary text details a strange creature reared on hind legs and jetting from its body toward a flame. After several seconds the heat scorches its legs and antennae as it reacts to the wick. The passage references wine and a curious term fatany.
Ants Build Escape Route From Hill to Candle Top
About 200 ants formed an approach from the hillside to the candle top so others could move away from the flame. Some dry pine needles caught fire briefly, but the ants quickly snuffed them out.
Ants Fight Fire In Small-Scale Trial On Candle
The continuous attack weakened the flame until it went out after four and a half minutes. Ants tried to rescue wounded and dead but wax hardened and trapped them. They soaked the wick with their bodily fluid, then repaired the hill and tried to cover the candle. Herr Gedde relit the candle after about 30 minutes but the ants quickly extinguished it again, proving ants can fight fire though not a formal fire department.
