Fire of Chariots

"You need to cut it down, Chariots," the foreman said to the scowling performer, while reading his datapad where it clearly stood "Down cut, fire of Chariots."
"Cut it down?!" Trace Chariots could not believe their ears. "How can you cut it down, it's an essential part of the show!" 
"I am very sorry, but a 10 meter high flame is too big of a hazard," he continued dryly.
"An essential part of the show, though!" Chariots repeated. "We've taken the necessary safety precautions, haven't we? Why does it suddenly need to be cut down?"
