There will be no vehicle access from inside the camp and there will be fences between the depot and the exterior of the camp. The depot will be near the camp fence on the main road, providing a fire lane \/ emergency access.

They will know exactly how to safely turn off the fuel supply in the unlikely scenario that the flame do anything other than lightly burn anything but the steel wool wick. All camp members will know where the fire extinguisher is and how to use it. During camp orientation, we jointly determine best evacuation routes and procedures and then post the route in our communal kitchen. We all know that we must extinguish the fire should any Ranger or Emergency Personnel request this.<\/p>\n<p>In our orientation, we demonstrate <strong>what to do in case of fuel spills and unplanned fires.<\/strong> We are all constantly on the lookout for damage to the fire effect or its fuel pod by wind, vehicle collision, or any other act of god or man. As for response to injury to anyone, we will follow our camp procedures for assessment (we always have at least one MD in camp to help with this), treatment, and\/or transport to the med tent, should that be deemed appropriate.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"giphy-embed\" src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/nT4gNH1UTzfry\" width=\"480\" height=\"269\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Liminal Labs Fire Chandelier 2018 Fire Safety Liaison: Jennifer Seiler Fire Safety Assistants: Jack Taylor, Brian Lang, Jonathan Steuer, Nancy Robinson Leave No Trace Lead: Nancy Robinson This is the same flame effect that was approved, implemented, and inspected in 2016 and 2017.
