Fire Safety & Clean Up Plan
The Fleeble Flobbler

 

Fire & Burn Scar Prevention
This is an OPEN FIRE type sculpture that will burn wood as its main fuel source. The Fleeble Flobbler will have four 20lb abc dry chemical fire extinguishers along with four five gallon buckets of water in proximity to the fire caldron during the firing of the vessel. There will be a scoop shovel along to pick up and clean up during the nightly firings if there were to be a spill. The sculpture contains its ash and coal in a steel basin or volume 16 inches or more above the playa.

Fuel & Wood Storage
The wood will be staged on a thick tarp to keep and maintain it during the week as it is used.  The fuels we will be using to ignite the fires are bio diesel fuels along with paraffin wax.  All flammable liquids will be safely stored in proper containers away from the wood storage area.  There will be fire extinguishers openly displayed in the camp within proximity to the fuel storage areas.

Clean Up
The ashes will be removed from the playa in 40 gallon steel trash cans with lids so that the left over content of the vessel can be removed properly without a trace from the playa zone.  The wood chip and debris will be swept up and burned or removed along with the ash content of the mOOp.
