Professional firefighters, appliances and safety advisors for high-risk fire scenes, SFX explosions and wet downs across TV, film and live productions.
Safeland provides experienced firefighters and fully equipped fire appliances to support special effects explosions, fire scenes and other high-risk sequences.
We work alongside your production team and SFX Supervisor to design the right level of fire cover, so you can capture dramatic footage without compromising on safety, compliance or control.
For a truly authentic depiction of the fire service, we can provide dedicated fire brigade technical advisors to work with your production. Our advisors bring extensive operational experience and can guide your director on how crews, appliances and equipment should look and behave on screen.
We recognise the need to capture powerful, memorable footage – but never at the expense of safety. Safeland can provide health and safety and technical advisors to design and implement control measures around each stunt or fire sequence, ensuring your cast, crew and spectators are protected at all times.
Every stunt and fire sequence starts with a detailed risk assessment. We review the proposed action, environment, materials and ignition sources, then agree suitable control measures, escape routes and emergency procedures with your production and SFX teams.
As part of our standard approach, we complete documented risk assessments and method statements for our activities on every production. This helps to demonstrate due diligence, clarifies everyone’s responsibilities and gives your cast and crew confidence that the scene has been planned safely from the outset.
Whether you are shooting a single controlled burn or a series of large-scale explosions, we tailor the level of cover, personnel and equipment to the unique requirements of your production, schedule and location.
We work across TV drama, feature films, commercials, music promos and live events, from single-day shoots to long-running productions. Our team will scale fire cover up or down depending on the size of the production, the complexity of the stunt and the level of risk involved.

As standard, we undertake written risk assessments and method statements for our work on every production. We can also collaborate with your in-house safety team or external safety consultants to align with wider production risk management processes.
