PERSONAL CAMPFIRES, TIKI TORCHES, ETC. -You can make small personal campfires or bring fire barrels, and there are several dozen rings throughout the site to facilitate small fires. Please use common sense. Clear an area around your fire, don’t have it too near your tent or trees or car, keep enough water on hand to put it out if the wind kicks up. Do not, ever, leave a fire unattended, even candles!

FIRE CONCLAVE– You’ll have the opportunity to participate in our killer Fire Conclave procession and performance before the Effigy burns! If your fire group of 3 or more wants to participate, write to Russian Wulfgar of the Fire Safety & Performance Team at fireconclave@lakesoffire.org to apply. We will have a full rehearsal and safety training (non-fire) Friday night and Saturday afternoon. Every group will need its own Fire Safeties with wet towels, etc. At the end of the training and rehearsal, all performers and safeties will get Conclave laminates which are required to enter the Fire Circle Saturday night.

You must be completely sober to participate in any fire performance.

FIRE SPINNING– Our deal with the Township says that all fire on the grounds–including poi– will be safe and legal. Not sure how to do that? We will have a pamphlet for all fire artists at the gate. A few things to remember: Never leave unattended fuel on the ground, always have a fire safety with you with an extinguisher and/or wet towels on hand.

FIRE CANNONS, PROPANE EFFECTS, ETC. If you wish to bring larger-scale fire devices, you must contact Russian Wulfgar at fireconclave@lakesoffire.org. Failure to contact the Fire Safety team regarding these devices will be grounds for their disuse during the event. These devices can only be used in open areas, not among the tents. The Fire Chief has a right to inspect them for safety. We will tag them and note them on our map. They must be attended at all times and have a fire extinguisher nearby, or be disabled.
