🚫 No open campfires, wood-burning fire pits, charcoal BBQs, or devices that create embers or sparks.

Help protect the Luminous Playground, our community, and our temporary home. 💛

Propane fire pits, BBQs, and stoves are allowed, but must be elevated from the ground and placed on mineral earth cleared of dead or dry grasses. A fire extinguisher should be nearby and visible. Never leave a device on and unattended.

If conditions are deemed unsafe, all open flame except propane or white gas cooking stoves will be prohibited. Fire spinning and fire art performances have separate safety requirements and are not allowed during any Red Flag period.

📖 Read the Survival Guide for the full fire policy and more details:
