Photographing fire?

[LeperousDust]

I'm going to see the Beltane Fire Festival tonight, see here here and here.

It's held at night and lots of fire throwing and dancing, i'd like to capture a few nice pictures, but i know i'm obviously going have a lot of trouble

I've got my trusty IXUS, which isn't really up to this job i know, but that's all i've got. I can put CHDK back on which gives me much better control over individual aspects, what i'm really after is some general advice and pointers to get me in the right direction, i don't really care if it doesn't work out i'd just rather be a little bit prepared and hope i get some nice photos

Cheers fellas!
