The Public Works Team (APW) oversees all infrastructure needs before and during the event. APW works with all other teams as well as the Event Lead Team to identify and procure needed materials. Additionally, they are responsible for building or organizing the building of all structures (except the Effigy and Temple) and setting up other infrastructure items on­site, as well as overseeing the physical inventory and maintenance of all Flashpoint Artists Initiative's owned items.  APW needs strong, dedicated volunteers (Timmies) to accomplish a great number of general and skilled labor tasks before and during the Burn.

Volunteer with APW and get your very own Timmy Tag! We work hard, but we have a lot of fun doing it.
