Fire plays a big part in the events at mOOseman — so does fire safety and common sense. This is something taken very seriously, so please read these guidelines carefully.

FIRE SAFETY IN YOUR CAMP
mOOseman is going to take place in the woods, in a dry area. Therefore, campfires, flame effects, and open fires are NOT ALLOWED during the event. The same for CANDLES or TIKI TORCHES.

Stoves, and safe cooking set-ups (not open fire, or pit fires) will, of course be allowed, and we ask you to take precautions to avoid accidents. There must be someone who is responsible and present at all time to monitor any fire in your camp and be prepared to completely extinguish it/turn it off, if needed.

FLAME EFFECTS AND PROPANE GAS FLAMES USED IN ART
**All flame effects used in art must be registered with the Art and Fire Safety Teams.**

1.   No large-scale flame effects using 40 or more gallons of fuel without prior express permission from the mOOseman planning team.

2.   No pressurized liquid-fuels are to be used within the camping area.

3.   All fuel lines are to be manufactured and rated for LP gas. Compressed air hoses are not an acceptable substitute for LP gas line and will not be approved.

4.   Flame Effects shall be secured and constructed in a way that the burning surface is at least one foot (12″) from the ground.

5.   A 20′ zone around the Flame Effect must be free of any flammable materials such as but not limited to; cloth, paper, tents, plastic, etc.

6.   No Flame Effect shall be left unattended. At least one person will be designated fire effect operator and be within visual distance at all times. If found unattended while lit, flame effects may be extinguished and equipment may be confiscated if there is sufficient hazard.

7.   A properly-rated fire extinguisher and a supply of at least 5 gallons of water must be kept on-hand to extinguish the fire in case of high winds or other hazards.

8.   If winds pick up, all Flame Effects must be put out.

9.   Any towers or artwork that incorporates fire shall be secured from the wind and safety perimeter increased appropriately.

10.  Flame Effects must be extinguished at the request of any Ranger, Fire Safety, Emergency Services or mOOseman Event Team personnel.

11.  An appropriate safe perimeter will be maintained at all times to prevent injury to participants.

As part of our event stipulations, the use of ANY pyrotechnics that are not part of a pre-registered and approved art project is forbidden and may result in a possible ejection from the event.

Due to the restraints of the site and our agreement with the owner, fire performances this year can only take place during certain times and in approved areas. The agreed-upon open spin jams are Friday and Saturday nights. Friday night from 9pm until 1am and in the performance amphitheatre only. Saturday night as soon as other amphitheatre performances end until 1am and, again, only in the amphitheatre.

Sunday night, after the effigy burn, there may be a jam *afterwards* in either the amphitheatre or around the burn pit. Sunday’s jam is totally TBD, so be sure to get your flame on on Friday and Saturday just in case! The ground is very dry grass! For this reason, we ask all performers to spin off extremely well beforehand and also to make sure the ground has been wet before lighting up. Thank you for your cooperation!

For any fire and fire safety questions, contact the Fire Safety leads, Dys and Chico, at burntmooseman2010+fire@gmail.com.  Anything we cannot answer, we will find out for you!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR COOPERATION IN KEEPING MOOSEMAN SAFE!!!
