The daf begins with a concern regarding oils that when lit cause Sparks to fly and could thereby damage the house. This concern is then illustrated by a tragic story in order to exemplify the flammability of apharsimon oil.

Since the Gemara had discussed the ability to burn impure terumah, the Gemara then questions if one can benefit from burning tevel and it is at this point we start today’s shiur.
