To engage in "Fire Performance Art"; in the City of Portland, one must be in compliance with the Portland Bureau of Fire, Fire Prevention Division's C-7 Policy. An electronic copy of the C-7 policy is available in .pdf format here. To perform, or practice lit, one must obtain a "Conditional Use Permit"; from the Fire Marshall's office. The Fire Marshall's office is located at 55 SW Ash Street in Downtown Portland, and can be reached at (503)823-3712. The City Parks and Recreations Department is supposedly creating requirements for performances in City parks. Those requirements will be posted here when they surface.
