About fire performer services
Performers work to a safety perimeter with a trained safety person and appropriate extinguishers, and fuel is stored away from the performance area. Outdoor sites need permission from the landowner and sometimes the council. A performer who cannot produce a risk assessment and insurance certificate should not be booked.
