The Rangers are an all-volunteer organization at Burning Man dedicated to fill the role of non-confrontational community mediators. Responding to the fluid and continuously evolving nature of the event, we address within our community situations that would otherwise require outside intervention.Rangers help to resolve disputes within our community, but they also bridge the gap between the ethos and the culture of our citizens and the needs and responsibilities of law enforcement. As first responders, we are often able to effectively mediate disputes and interpret our city's rules in ways that avoid larger and sometimes negative results which might ordinarily result in more negative consequences for the individuals or groups involved. To that end we have been very successful in carrying out our mission since the Ranger's inception back in '92.Rangers also promote awareness of potential hazards, as well as dealing with lost and disoriented individuals.(rangers.burningman.com)
