Introduction
Making action possible
Across studio sets and sites across the UK, Dragon Fire & Safety is the team trusted to keep the extraordinary safe. From the heat of a live explosion to the quiet hum of a late-night studio shoot, our role is simple: to protect people, property, and production - so creativity can flow without compromise
Our expertise is forged in the real world: decades of front-line fire, rescue, and risk management experience combined with the innovation of modern safety systems. We understand the pressures of production and the pace of performance, bringing structure, clarity, and calm wherever the stakes are high. With us, safety isn’t a barrier, it’s the framework that allows creativity to thrive. Because when you know everything is protected, you can push the limits of what’s possible.
Andrew Hearne - Director of Operations
It isn’t about stopping the action. It’s about making action possible – and keeping everyone safe while we do it.
Fire
From special effects to structural compliance, we design, implement, and maintain fire safety systems that go beyond regulation, protecting your teams, your assets, and your reputation.
Water
Our water safety specialists bring real-world fire and rescue experience to high-risk sequences - keeping performers, cameras, and crews safe when the scene calls for more than dry land.
Safety
Our approach is proactive, not reactive - anticipating risk long before it becomes a problem. We integrate seamlessly with your crew, protecting people while supporting your creative vision.
Courses
Department-specific sessions turn theory into muscle memory. Live, practical drills cut false alarms, sharpen first response, and keep momentum when the slate claps.

Our Services
What We Offer
From pyrotechnic stunts to complex location shoots, we balance ambition with discipline, protecting every person and every shot. We don’t just tick boxes; we build a culture of safety excellence that strengthens creativity, productivity, and trust.
Services
Fire Cover
Trained firefighters working in sync with SFX, Stunts and the 1st AD. We brief clearly, manage heat and hot work, and keep resets tight—so the drama lives on screen, not in the risk log.
Services
Fire Safety & Engineering
From egress and smoke behaviour to temporary structures, we build performance-based strategies that regulators respect and crews can run.
Services
Fire Safety Training
Department-specific sessions turn theory into muscle memory: which extinguisher, who leads, where to stop. Live, practical drills cut false alarms, sharpen first response, and keep momentum when the slate claps.
Services
Fire Safety & Equipment
We specify, supply and manage the equipment that keeps sets compliant and moving: correctly rated extinguishers, fire points, trolleys, blankets and hot-work controls.
Services
Marine Safety & Boats
We lock in permissions, comms and extraction routes before call, then deploy qualified teams with rescue craft and cold-water PPE. Docks, lakes or reservoirs—operations run predictably so performance stays the focus.
Services
Water Bowsers for SFX
We decouple logistics from the lens: storage dams feed silent pumps for dialog-friendly rain and repeatable texture. Fewer tanker hours, faster resets, and continuity that matches from rehearsal to print.
Services
Heated Water
Temperature-controlled rigs keep cast comfortable and continuity tight, giving productions the flexibility to hold the look without welfare risk. Weather pressure drops; schedule confidence rises.
Services
Water Safety Training
We prepare crews for safe, efficient water days: cold-water shock awareness, hypothermia recognition and warming routines, PPE selection and fit, throwline use, boat and pontoon protocols, and comms that work under pressure.
Services
Health & Safety Training
Senior briefings sharpen accountability; toolbox refreshers sharpen reflexes. Short, scenario-led modules build the behaviours that matter on the floor—communication, controls and confidence.
Services
Recces & Risk Assessments
We break down scenes, identify hazards and design practical controls that ADs, SFX and Construction can run.
Services
Health & Safety Advisors
Production-literate advisors integrate with departments, set the daily rhythm, and manage the risk delta in real time.
Services
Health & Safety Retained Services
A retained service gives you a dedicated advisor, scheduled audits and recces, and rapid support when plans change.
