Hello Fireflies- Rangering is a great volunteer opportunity for participants who have BEEN TO FIREFLY BEFORE OR HAVE SERVED AS RANGERS AT OTHER BURNER EVENTS. Rangers are friendly helpful Fireflies working with other festival participants over the course of the event. We are neither a security force nor enforcers. Being a Ranger is a commitment to aid and facilitate the community, and it is a very enjoyable one. This is a great way to volunteer if you like people, and enjoy helping them out on a personal level, while contributing to the safety and continued smooth flow of the event. You need to have a straight head and be willing to listen to people. 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. *All Rangers are required to take a Ranger Training course either before or during the Firefly event.* Prospective Rangers must also complete a successful Alpha Shift at the event in order to become a Ranger. A total of five trainings are being offered this year, one for Black Rock Rangers and four for Firefly Rangers. (Note: the BRC training will qualify you for Firefly.)
