Burning Man Comes Early This Year

First rule of the Burning Man festival: The Man is supposed to burn at the end.

Not this year, though: he caught fire at 2:58 a.m. Pacific time today, four days ahead of schedule.

As the flames climbed up the 40-foot sculpture for 23 minutes, burners, as festival-goers are called, emerged as witnesses.

Hours later, a San Francisco man named Paul Addis was arrested on felony arson charges, The Chronicle reported. He’s sitting in Pershing County Jail in Nevada.
