Frequently asked
Questions clients ask us
- Do I need fire cover for my festival?
- Most UK festivals need documented fire safety arrangements as part of their event safety plan and Premises Licence conditions. The Safety Advisory Group (SAG) and your local Fire & Rescue will usually expect on-site fire cover proportional to the size, layout and risk profile of the event.
- Can you cover overnight and camping areas?
- Yes. Camping areas and the post-show overnight period are some of the highest-risk windows. We can run dedicated camping patrols, monitor cooking points and respond to tent fires while crowds rest.
- How early should I book?
- Aim for 4–8 weeks before the event for festival weekends, and earlier for bank holidays and the summer peak. Last-minute bookings are sometimes possible — call us and we'll be straight with you about availability.
- Do you liaise with the local Fire & Rescue Service?
- Yes. We carry radios, can join the event control net, and will brief and escalate to the statutory Fire & Rescue Service if an incident exceeds our capability.
