Film and Photo Requests
The NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) and its volunteers receive many requests to participate in film/television/video/photographic projects, both in an on-camera capacity, as an off-camera 'behind-the-scenes' service, or to provide emergency fire protection.
Each request is considered on its merit, having regard to the potential benefits and any effect participation could have on RFS response capability.
To streamline your request, a Questionnaire for Filming Agency is available as a Word document.
Please return your completed questionnaire to the email or fax contacts on the form, along with the relevant pages of script, treatment or script outline. This will provide sufficient information to the NSW Rural Fire Service to assess your proposal.
If your proposal progresses, we may later require:
- Evidence of Public Liability cover for minimum $20 million for any single claim
- A 'Letter of Agreement' - a legal document signed by both parties that sets out conditions for approval of filming proposal and realisation of final product
- A Location Agreement
For any further information please contact the RFS State Duty Media Officer on (02) 9898 1855 or media@rfs.nsw.gov.au.
