The Burning Man DPW Launch a Flaming Piano Onto the Playa to Demonstrate the Importance of ‘Leave No Trace’

During TTITD this past year, the incredible folks of the Burning Man Department of Public Works (DPW) launched a flaming piano with a trebuchet onto the playa floor. If that wasn’t amazing enough, some of them immediately piled into a truck, drove out to where the piano landed, made sure the fire extinguished and then began cleaning up every single piece of the wreckage in order to demonstrate and exemplify the importance of “Leave No Trace“.
