਀ഊOne advantage yurts have over standard tents .... large "smoke" openings in the roof and skirting on the sides that can be partially raised to provide adequate ventilation .... hot air rises through roof, creates low  pressure that pulls steady supply of air through "vents" in sides ...  sets up a convection flow that carries stale air (including carbon monoxide) out and pulls fresh air in.
਀  ഊAs for safety ... the yurt is a "sacred" space - the hearth is at the center and as such all who enter are aware of it (all of us mongol types know basic yurt protocol).  when one enters such "sacred space", one does not casually fling ones cloak around .... consider, it was death penalty for any one who stepped on the "threshold" of a yurt (the dividing line between the sacred inner circle and the external consensus reality world).  if the person who suggested this design (and having experience in yurts and amerind tepees in winter, it is an excellent design) is sensible, he'll have an extinguisher out of sight and near to hand - as all SCAdian tent dwellers should.  
਀ ഊBasic point here is not to legislate out all possibility of danger ... it is to teach respect and understanding of these areas ... in this case how to live with fire - a skill that is sadly lacking.  anyone who feels they need to have their hands held to that level really needs to get out of the woods and back into their apartments.  it's amazing what stressing personal responsibility and common sense will get you verses trying to push responsibility off on others (concept has ramifications in many areas of SCAdian life as well as munucdane life ....).
