Filming and photography

CFA and its volunteers receive many requests to be part of film, television, video, photography and art projects. These requests may involve on-camera participation, off-camera support (such as fire suppression), or providing emergency fire protection.

Each request is assessed on its merits, taking into consideration any potential impact on CFA’s operational response.

CFA is happy to accommodate filming requests when and where possible, and asks that significant lead time is provided.

If your proposal progresses, we may later require:

  • Evidence of Public Liability insurance with a minimum cover of $20 million for any single claim
  • A Letter of Agreement – a legal document signed by both parties outlining the conditions for approval of the filming proposal and the realisation of the final product
  • A Location Agreement
