burn marks

Fire's lasting signature

Burn marks are discolorations or damage left on a surface by heat or flame.

They appear on skin after contact with hot objects, on furniture from cigarettes or hot dishes, on fabric from irons, or on cookware from overheating.

The wooden table had burn marks from years of careless smoking.

The marks may be temporary or permanent depending on the material and severity.
