A woman died Sunday on the first day of the Burning Man festival in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert, the event and local authorities announced. Burning Man emergency service personnel responded to a report of an unresponsive person at 11:29 a.m. in Black Rock City, the Burning Man Project said in a news release. Lifesaving measures were “attempted but were unsuccessful,” officials said. Black Rock City is a temporary city erected for the annual festival.
“Our thoughts and condolences go out to the family and friends affected by this loss,” said the Burning Man Project, the nonprofit organization behind the annual event. It said support is available to festival participants, including peer support services, at Black Rock Rangers headquarters and outposts and via the Black Rock City Emergency Services Department’s crisis support team. “The safety and well-being of our staff and community are paramount,' it said.
