The tower will be too small to be safe, I'm pretty sure, so we'll want to make something out of the decking. White edging sounds good.
I'm happy to juggle some while I'm wandering around... like I said, we'll not be playing continuously because people will get too used to it, but we'll fire up or do something interesting occasionally throughout the event. It's fun to get noticed :)
Higher platforms for later in the night are fine by me as long as we figure out a way to get me up onto them :)
Fire blankets are a must - I'd say two, one tied to a corner of each platform, because when your hair catches light you really want to find the thing quickly :) I'm not familiar with types of extinguisher, so I'll take your advice there. Usually if you light yourself with poi, you drop and roll, but that won't do much good on a wooden platform. A big container of water to drop the firetoys in if they get unruly would probably be a good thing to have around too, just in case.
I've emailed our friendly photographer with a link to this thread to ask if he's interested. I do know a couple of other photographers, do you want me to ask them as well?

er yup photographer, fine, but only if free really, was more for mine and your benefit really.
