    Suggestion: No large personal items and weather appropriate clothing

    WaterFire ditches plastic water bottles! We eliminated the plastic from constructing the braziers and we want to reduce our carbon footprint by eliminating the need for single-use plastic bottles. We ask that you please bring a reusable water bottle to your shift and you will be able to refill on site.

    Volunteer Team Requests:

    • If you are unable to make it to your shift, please let me know as soon as possible or unregister on the website.
    • Please be on time for your shift! WaterFire volunteers have the most important role to make a WaterFire lighting possible.
    • WaterFire will go on regardless of the weather, so please plan accordingly. We will be in touch if there are any emergencies.
