Vehicles, Equipment & In-Vision
Film Fire Services have a fleet of vehicles, each has its own range of capabilities and uses. They are tailored to our specific needs and can be custom configured to meet the various requirements of the Film, Television or Events industries. All our vehicles are fully insured to work as Fire and Rescue vehicles and are covered by our Operators Licence.
Pump Ladders
Often known as Domestic Appliances, these are essentially what we commonly refer to as "Fire Engines." They are equipped to carry a wide variety of tools, including firefighting equipment, breathing apparatus, ladders, rescue tools, air lifting equipment, hydraulic rescue equipment, and much more. Each carries its own water and an onboard pump to effectively respond to fire emergencies. Currently, we utilise Scania fire engines, which can be customized with the necessary equipment based on the specific situation.

4x4 vehicles give us a go anywhere capability, each is fitted with a 400L high pressure firefighting system, fire extinguishers, fire blankets, Thermal Imaging camera and can carry our latest Weber battery cutting equipment for stunt and crash rescue.
Small Fire Appliances
Film Fire Services offers a range of small, custom-built fire appliances. Each unit can be tailored with a 400L high-pressure firefighting system, extinguishers, hydraulic rescue tools, and other necessary equipment, along with crew as needed. These units are ideal for studio work or events where a full-size fire engine isn't necessary.

Film Fire Services have 10,000 and 16,500L water tankers available, they can transport water to remote locations in bulk for fire safety or SFX. Each has onboard pumps with options for pumping capacity's ranging from 2,000 to 5,000 litres per minute depending on requirements. They can be pre filled with warm or hot water for SFX
