FIRE!! – Safety & Performance
Fire is a spectacular part of our event. We are working with local fire authorities to safely enact the best fire effects possible.
PERSONAL CAMPFIRES- 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, keep some water or dirt on hand to put it out if the wind kicks up. Do not, ever, leave a fire unattended!
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 at least 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. Every group will need its own Fire Safeties with wet towels, etc. At the end of the training, all performers and safeties will get Conclave laminates which will let you enter the Fire Circle Saturday night.
You must be completely sober to participate in any fire performance.
We will be using a safety system for fire performers that follows the national fire codes. You may have already experienced this at the Burning Man fire conclave or other Regional events. The full procedure will be sent out to the accepted fire groups before the event.
FIRE CANNONS, FLAMETHROWERS, 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. They must be attended at all times and have a fire extinguisher nearby.
The Fire Safety & Performance Team is here for your safety! We reserve the right to shut down any use of fire that threatens other attendees, endangers the event, or breaks our agreement with the local fire authorities. Failure to abide with Fire Safety protocols may be grounds for your immediate removal from this event.
