Important safety notes for Los Angeles & Ventura events:
- Generators must be placed outdoors in well-ventilated areas, typically at least 20 feet from tents and guest areas.
- Fire Marshal often requires steel barricades around large generators.
- Use cable protectors wherever pedestrian traffic crosses power cords.
- Carbon monoxide risk is real — never run generators inside tents or enclosed spaces.
