Credits for Playing with fire

Credits for work used in the Playing with fire sequence.

reSolve acknowledges the valuable contributions of Professor Jason Sharples (University of NSW) to the development of this sequence. His expertise and generous support were invaluable.

We also thank CSIRO for providing the Spark fire simulations, which significantly enriched the sequence.
