Fires should not threaten nearby structures unless planned to do so. Large scale works of art may be burned within designated areas and precautions should be taken to ensure a reasonably safe burn. Every participant has the right to experience flame. However, burns are physically painful and scarring. Restrictions to fire activities should be balanced against possible dangers and available medical resources.
Good sleep is difficult in a city where activity and sound continues nonstop.
Reducing the sound level with a good pair of earplugs is essential to acquiring enough sleep and all Rangers will be issued a pair. Always wear your earplugs when sleeping in Black Rock City. Sleeping at night is best with a sleeping bag in a warm, enclosed place such as a tent or vehcile. Sleeping during the day is best under a shade structure and on a cot which allows air flow underneath. Special sleeping accommodations may be provided for those Rangers working all-night shift duties.
