SPECIAL NOTES FOR PYRO CIRCUS
***If you are a fire performer interested and/or planning to join us in the street with fire props, there are a few things you should know:

*crowd experienced performers only. we take this very seriously. this isn’t for performers new to fire play or for people that just “dabble” in this art.

* In order to perform with fire you must attend one of the two scheduled safety meetings and sign a waiver.

* The safety meetings are scheduled to be held at 6:45 and 8:15 PM.

* Waivers will be available at the safety meetings and must be signed to participate.

* With the exception of fire breathing, we will only be using white gas (naptha, camp fuel). As for fire breathers, please note the below bullet point.

* As is pointed out below, fire breathing performances will be held until last, as lamp oil tends to make the performance area slick for other spinners.

* In the name of fairness and reciprocity, it is encouraged that all fire performers volunteer for a fire safety shift. It’s just like watching fire performance, but you get to wear a brightly colored vest and who doesn’t like brightly colored vests?!
