Midwest Burners

Interfuse Sand Team

This team of 12 people stands inside the perimeter with their back to the effigy. They are the last line of safety for the effigy burn. Training will be provided. Will earn 3 hours of volunteer credit. More information can be found at the top of the sign up here

Interfuse Effigy perimeter

These folks maintain the perimeter of the effigy field. They also stand with their backs to the fire and keep people from edging closer to get a better view. They also maintain the space for the conclave performers to dance around before the effigy is ignited. Will earn 3 hours of credit.

Conclave safeties

The number of safeties needed depends on how many performers there are. Must have one safety for each performer. They are positioned inside the perimeter with a wet towel they bring along and watch for any performance mishaps. They must attend a safety meeting which is being held at 3pm both Friday and Saturday afternoon. (Either offering, not both) This will earn them 3 hours of credit.

Interfuse City Watch

This very special group is tasked with patrolling the city during the effigy to be sure no one is taking advantage of empty camps while everyone is at the burn. They work is coordination with the other safety teams. They will be provided access to golf carts and radios.

2023 Lead: Amanda Schroeder

Spark patrol

Smallest team of only 4 people. These folks will be stationed outside the crowd around the effigy field. A non-bunker/outer-perimeter patrol.

Volunteers will be equipped with compressed-air water extinguishers to work outside the perimeter and douse any embers or large chunks of burning wood which fly out into the city.

Interfuse Medic volunteers 2023

Do you love helping others? Do you have basic first aid and CPR certification? If you meet those two requirements we would love to have you at the medic tent! Medic shifts will be 4 hours each, you will either be at the medic tent or out and about with a small backpack stocked with basic first aid needs. If you’ve volunteered as a medic before we welcome you back. If you’re new I will be reaching out to you to answer any questions. Some of the basic first aid we will provide at the medic tent include small wound cleansing and bandaging, providing salves for burns, ace wraps, electrolyte powder for those who are extremely dehydrated and support for any major medical problems. If at any time you feel concerned a medic lead or co-lead will always be available for you to ask questions!
