Burn Club Rules

Welcome to the LA open fire weekly spinjam, Burn Club. Before we give you directions, we want to make sure you understand a few things.
  • This space is entirely legal. We have permits from the CC parks and Fire departments for Wednesday nights. People have put up their insurance to make it happen, and are ultimately responsible for the event. They make the rules.
  • By attending Burn Club, you accept the rules below and are expected to help enforce them.
  • Though this weekly space is open to anyone, even groups looking to practice, it is foremost set up for the LA Fire Conclave. Their use of the park for meetings or practice will take precedent over open spin time.
  • We are required to leave the area in approximately the same condition as we found it. Pick up after yourself and be prepared to remove any marks left on the courts. Leave no trace.

 
  1. The fire permit requires that one of the permit holders be present, and that fire extinguishers are available.
  2. All fuel will be taken directly to the fuel area upon arrival. At the end of the night, fuel should be removed directly to your car, no stops. Periodically, the fuel area will be moved to prevent excessive erosion of the property.
  3. Each fire act must have a spotter. Multi-performer interactive routines count as one act. Each performer is expected to insure their own spotter, do not assume current spotters will do it.
  4. First, or only, spotter must stand between the fuel area and the flame.
  5. Parks dept. and police suggest the use of parking passes after 8pm when parks close. Parking passes are located in the binder, on the picnic tables closest to courts.
  6. Spinout zone on the west side of the courts, south side, or as designated.
  7. Spinout area, fuel area and west side of courts are designated non-smoking zones.
  8. Practice areas are on the east side of the courts and in the playground.
  9. Spectator areas are the practice areas, the picnic tables and on the outermost rim of the courts.
  10. Police often watch from above, so don't do anything you wouldn't want them watching.
  11. Duvy and extinguisher are provided, but extras are always welcomed.
  12. Photographers must secure permission to shoot from each performer, each time they light up.
  13. Each participant is expected to help enforce the rules.
  14. Finally, the weekly parks permit and the annual fire permit cost money. Donations from all participants help keep this service running. A small wood donation box can be found on the picnic tables nearest the courts ($).
