This year's Burning Man will take place from Sunday, August 25th thru Monday, September 2nd (Labor Day). This will be my second year in attendance. In 2015 I joined the Vulcan Empire (Empire Fire Collective) themed camp. Though I wasn't a fire spinner, I attended regular rehearsals and learned how to be part of the Fire Safety team. I was responsible for extinguishing the performers' props using a Duvetyn blanket. To be in my role you also had to stand by during the performance and be willing to run into the line of fire (pun intended) to put out any accidental fires... like a performer's hair lighting up in flames.
