Campfires & Burn Barrels
There are several public campfires and burn barrels for your use around the site. Please feel free to use these areas in a responsible manner.
⇒ Do not leave fires unattended
⇒ Use firewood conservatively (no giant bonfires please)
⇒ Extinguish fires before leaving
⇒ Make sure there is a fire bucket filled with water near the fire
⇒ Please do not use accelerant to light public burn barrels.
⇒ Personal firepits are allowed as long as they are enclosed, raised above the ground and cleared of brush.
⇒ Burn Barrels should be placed on cinder blocks

Wood has been purchased for the event. If you would like to use some for your camping area or one of the community fire pits, you may use one of the wheel barrows to cart it to your fire pit. We only ask that you consider donating to offset the cost of the wood!

Fire Performance
We have two areas designated for spinning. Most of the other areas of the event will either be crowded trails or in the woods so please stick to your glow toys outside of the burn areas. We ask that you use a sober safety and store your fuel properly as well. The first area will be in the effigy field and the other near the campfire and art space in the big field. If you are interested in being part of the pre-effigy fire performance, email us and come prepared to come to a mandatory safety meeting before the burn on Saturday night.
Flame Effects
NECTR Loves flame effects! If you’re planning on bringing flame effects or LPG based flaming sculpture to NECTR, please know that this year we will be performing a safety inspection on your delightful devices. Here’s a link to the technical aspects of what we’re looking for.
Generally safety requirements for flame effects are identical to those used by Burning Man. Please take your personal safety as well as the safety of everyone around you seriously.
If you have something that you’d like to bring, and you’re afraid it won’t make the guidelines, please email to discuss! We’re here to help get your art here safely, not to banish things.
Burning Art
We hope you want to burn some things. Burnable art comes in lots of sizes.
We have two main burn sites in the NECTRlands: effigy and temple sites.
Other burnable projects ARE allowed however MUST be approved before hand. Please email us if you are interested in burning your project.
Any art destined to be burned or consumed by flames should be primarily made of wood and non-toxic things.
Can’t wait to see what you all set on fire.
