Perimeter Core

Perimeter Lead Responsibilities

Perimeter Core keeps people out of the fire at our burns!

• Train Perimeter volunteers
• Set expectations (Perimeter volunteers must be sober and unaltered during the burns)
• Managing volunteers during the burns
• Get radios for the quad leads, and so a short radio training session
• Manage radio comms during the burn
• Determine perimeter distance or with with other leads to determine it (Art, Fire, Event Ops)
• Decide whether it is safe to burn, in collaboration with other leads.
• When Fire Safety makes the call to drop perimeter, notify Perimeter volunteers.
