FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Q: Are You Insured?
A: Yes, we have $2 million liability insurance
Q: Can you perform inside?
A: Yes, our insurance covers both indoor and outdoor fire performance
Q: Will your performance set off sprinklers?
A: No, due to the amount of heat required to set off sprinklers, it is impossible for us to set off the sprinkler system in a building. It doesn't work like in the movies. Sprinklers cause more damage than a small fire would, so they are only triggered in extreme circumstance.
Q: Is your performance smoky?
A: We use the cleanest cooking grade fuel possible for our performances, so there is still some smoke, but it is minimal. The limit for number of performers and size of the fire props are determined based on the size and ventilation of the venue.
Q: What happens if something goes wrong?
A: We bring trained fire safety personnel, fire blankets, and our own fire extinguishers to every event. We have strict safety protocols which would be put into action to immediately resolve the situation.
STAGE Example
These are questions you should ask yourself as a venue manager or client of ours.
- Is there an adequate amount of performance space required to accomodate performers and safety zones?
​
*This space may vary depending on the number of performers, and addition of live music.
​
- Is there a minimum additional 2m safety zone between performance area and the audience?
​
- Is there a clear offstage area of approximately 5m2 for our dipping and safety station?
​
- Is the performance floor clean and clear of all obstructions?
​
- Is there an adequate ceiling height?
​
If you answered no to any of these questions we may not be able to perform with fire.
​
*Ceiling height is a huge factor in the safety of our performances, please ensure that there is enough room for proper ventilation, clearance (including the height of the flames) and no hanging obstructions.
We at AcroFire have an extensive checklist of safety protocols in order to ensure the feasibility of our shows before booking any new venue.

​
HOW IT WORKS
We will bring all of our own fire safety gear including our fire safety personnel, fire safety blankets, fire extinguisher(s), safety cones, and dip kit.
​
We need 15 minutes directly before the performance to set up and dip our props in fuel.
​
We have our own insurance for indoor and outdoor fire performance.
​
Our performance is always best with a loud cheering audience!
