<p>When a status effect is placed in a room, like fire, does it ever end without an 'action'?</p>

"I was surprised that fire was so devastating" - I'm sure that's also been said outside of a boardgaming context. ;)

# Do Status Effects End In Mansions of Madness?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2013-04-22)

We played *Mansions of Madness* for the first time this weekend and I was surprised that fire was so devastating.

When a status effect is placed in a room, like fire, does it ever end without an 'action'?

**No.** The keyword in the rules (found [here](http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/ffg_content/mansions-of-madness/support/MansionsOfMadnessLoRes.pdf)) is "ongoing." Status effects do not end until an action is taken to end them.
