The Effigy will not be burned this year. Due to ongoing forest fire risks, only pre-approved fire performances and fire art are permitted at What If.
No candles, propane fire pits, or open flames of any kind are allowed under any circumstances. Smoking cigarettes is only permitted in marked smoking areas, shown on the event map.
Only unmodified cooking appliances and outdoor flameless enclosed heaters are permitted. Be extremely careful and monitor these at all times; these should never be left unattended. If costumes, grass, etc. can make contact and instantly catch fire then it’s realistically an open flame and is not allowed. Camps with significant cooking or battery charging facilities are asked to always keep a fire extinguisher in reach. All camps should keep a bucket full of water in case of grass fires.
