21: Fire Safety Manager Matt Owens - Keeping Everyone Safe on Set

Do you want to know what it's like to provide fire safety on the sets of films and TV drama? Well, you'll want to stick around until the end of my interview with Matt Owens, the operations manager of Rapid Fire Cover. Matt and his team of specialist fire crew provide fire safety for every aspect of film, TV and live events. From supplying one fire marshal with a fire extinguisher to providing fire crews and appliances on 24 hour standby fire cover on a long term basis, they make sure that everything is safe on set and if anything does go wrong, they are there to save the day. Based in Cannock, Staffordshire, they cover the entire country and regularly work on soaps such as Coronation Street, Emmerdale, Casualty; dramas such as Downton Abbey, Victoria & Bulletproof.   In this interview we talk about how he got into the film & TV industry, what he and his team do on any given production and what the life is like as a real-life fire fighter.   Find out more here: http://www.rapidfirecover.co.uk/
