If a fire broke out at Bonnaroo (especially with how dry it was this year) how in the heck would we all get out alive in time with all the cars lined up so close and the amount of people that attend?
All I can say is that my life is pretty plain I like watchin' the puddles gather rain And all I can do is just pour some tea for two And speak my point of view But it's not sane, It's not sane
I just want some one to say to me I'll always be there when you wake
Good question....I am sure they have some kind of emergency evacuation in case something happened, but if that would have happened this past year I don't feel confident that it would have been executed well with the promoters being disorganized.
I figure if there is a fire for all the beer we as Roosters drank we could just pee the fire out. It would smell funny but I think we'd be ok.
A few years ago we were worried about tornadoes at Roo. There were a few before Roo had started and there were some nasty storms that year. So we were all looking at the sky for a bit. That could of been bad.
im sure that it would never be as big as your thinking. Even if the grass went up the water trucks would be able to knock down a at maxx a 14'' flame.. , it would never happen ..
Even if it was luckiest fire in history and spread from grass to a tent to an EZ-up and on to another tent etc... I would hope that enough "experienced" hippies would be able to do something...
...considering the availability of cooler water... and the fact that at any given moment approximately 95% of people at Roo have a cup in their hand... lol

I imagine the 'Roo evacuation plan goes something like, "walk to the nearest emergency exit, do not return to your tents or vehicles, please make way for emergency vehicles."
Lives are more important than cars, tents, and corn .

Yeah, if a fire is coming, getting a car out is probably the last thing people would think about, everyone would just walk away from the fire, or try to put it out.

if there was a fire at Roo, first thing i'd do is take a big whiff of the smoke burning from the camping areas (hey... i like the smell of corn burning )
then i'd proceed to get everyone to start pissing on the fire. it would definitely work. 80,000 people urinating together could definitely do some damage to a fire
haha... on saturday night this past year i was walking to the port-potties at about 3 am and this group of people were doing something or another and caught a huge patch of grass on fire... i was like holy crap... and started running to go get some water... by the time i came back it was just smoke and they were all sitting around drinking again. it was really a rush.... but an un-needed scare.
