Greetings lovely Fireflies! The Board has been working very hard to make sure that Firefly scales in a safe and manageable way. To do that, this year the Board is introducing a Muscle Squad staffed by a security company. The Muscle Squad has been hired to help provide backup support during incidents involving physical safety. This low-impact addition to the event will be a safety net only if a situation escalates beyond the volunteer team's capacity to handle. The Muscle Squad will be stationed near the Gate. In the unlikely occurrence that a Board member asks them to enter the event, they will be accompanied by a Board member at all times. Please welcome them or ignore them as you'd like, just remember that they are new team members that help make Firefly happen. See you in the woods!
