A self-extinguishing torch for use in theatrical environments includes a supporting basket having a support for torch fuel. The supporting basket includes a screen providing side ventilation for containing torch fuel on the support and admitting air through the side ventilation to burn torch fuel. The supporting basket has fuel, which provides torch lighting. A container having an opening for receiving, surrounding, and containing the supporting basket has a handhold remote from the container for permitting the container to be held by a hand. A normally closed top is provided for moving from an open position to a closed position over the container with the supporting basket therein. The normally closed top is biased to the open position when the supporting basket protrudes from the container at the normally closed top. A spring biases the supporting basket from a burning position exterior of the container to the opening of the container for receiving, surrounding and extinguishing the supporting basket interior of the container. A deadman on the container having an aperture engages a protuberance on the handhold. It maintains the supporting basket extended from the container with the normally closed top in the open position. When the deadman at the handhold is released, the deadman springs free of the protuberance. This biases the supporting basket into container occurs with closing of the normally closed top to extinguish the torch fuel in the supporting basket of the torch.
