Firefly Rangers keep an eye out for safety, we guide the lost, and help where we can. Anyone with decent people skills can become an excellent Ranger. Rangers from other Burn-type events are very welcome indeed.

Rangers are friendly, helpful Fireflies working with other festival participants over the course of the event. We are neither a security force nor enforcers of rules. Being a Ranger is a commitment to aid and facilitate the community, and it is a very enjoyable one.

You don’t need to withdraw from the event; on the contrary, you are encouraged to participate actively, just with added responsibility for a time, and a radio. You need to have a straight head and be willing to listen to people. You can, and should, watch, enjoy, and involve yourself in the goings on. You are the eyes and ears of the event and you help to hold it all together. You may head off a problem before it gets serious. Communication is a powerful tool.

This is a great way to volunteer if you like people and enjoy helping them out on a personal level. You do this while contributing to the safety and continued smooth flow of the event. It mostly involves walking around the event looking at cool stuff and paying attention to your surroundings.
