City Watch
While the effigy burns and the community is gathered in the field the city watch volunteers to patrol the rest of the burn and make sure nothing is stolen or vandalized at our camps
Lead: CC
Perimeter
Fire is cool and all, but when we light up that big structure we’re going to establish what is a safe distance to keep the crowd at.
Lead: Hummingbird
Sand team
These folks stand the inner perimeter of the burn as a last line of safety. Very hot work.
Pre-burn
Fire spinners come one and all! Join the conclave in a fire spinning set before the effigy burns. Just attend the safety meeting in advance and have a safety equipped with a towel to join the perimeter
Lead: Kelle
Putting the burn into Burner? Let FAST know!
Our Fire Art Safety Team is tasked with making sure that flame effects and burnable art are safe for our participants to be around. Please take the time to fill out this short form to let our FAST team know about your engineering or art you plan to burn.
Fire Conclave
On Friday and Saturday we shall have a safety meeting and tool check for both performers and safeties at 3pm.
Please see this link with more information on tool and equipment safety to ensure your tools are ready.
Attendance at one of the meetings AND approval of fire equipment is required for participation in the fire ceremony. Each performer must have a safety. Safeties please bring a towel you don’t mind getting sooty. Fire dancers can perform 2-3 times based on the number of performers and timeframe.
Because we burn safely AF, let’s encourage each other to flow with the skills we know. Also, be in touch, and know when your body and brain are able to burn safely.
1 Adult Ticket Per Account- NO EXCEPTIONS!!!
We are using a new ticketing platform that requires every ticket holder to create a unique account on https://midwestburners.volunteeripate.com/.
Everyone will need to make their own unique account to attend the event. You can only use 1 ticket per account- this means if you have 2 tickets in your account, one will grant you entry and the other will be a donation. Please TRANSFER any extra tickets in your account to the intended ticket owners by Saturday, May 11. Minors may be listed under their guardians account but should have their ticket in their own name.
Unlike previous years, you cannot just show your ID at the gate to let in an individual whose ticket is under your name. Making a volunteeripate account is a part of our gate process this year, so everyone needs to make a unique account.
