Removing the Fire Pot         
Using a special tool, the fire pot is removed to a safe place in the ballast next to the track. It will be buried three feet deep as it is currently 2400+F degrees and will remain able to burn someone for 1-2 days, depending on weather conditions. While some places use reusable pots, UP uses disposable, one use pots.
