EASING CONCERNS with your venue about fire :
**************************************************
*We are dancers and object manipulators using fire as a medium.
* We perform internationally, and have done so for apx 10 years.
* As fire performance has become more popular within the last five years,the growth of our trade has prompted certain regulations from within our own industry. They are the Fire Performer Safety Regulations (FPSR) set forth by the North American Fire Artists’ Association. (NAFAA)
* Our industry safety regulations were deemed necessary, as a specific guideline to a number of fire performance-related issues, such as handling & storage of fuels, ceiling height requirements, distance from audience,safety equipment types and methods of application, etc.
* Since the development of the FPSR, several cities, including Los Angeles, have received, and utilized the codes, as a reference guide to dealing with fire performers. Many cities now have certain guidelines and procedures specifically for fire performance.
* NAFAA rules have been implemented by the world fire performance community as generally accepted operating standards.
* The methods of fire we employ are considered Type I devices. Meaning, there is no internal or external fuel supply connected to the apparatus. Unless otherwise specified in writing, and only with proper authorized handlers, We do not work with propane, gasoline, pyrotechnics, flame cannons, fireworks, or any other potentially combusitble outside fuel source.
* The average burn time on a Type I device is 3-4 minutes. When the fuel on the wicking is gone, so, too is the flame. For a frame of reference, A common fire eating torch isequivalent to 5 pocket lighters.
