SAFETY & INSURANCE

Creative Flame has performed the course of a decade fully insured and without incident. Before each performance, all tools and equipment are thoroughly inspected & tested.

Performance site assessments are made pre-show to determine any possible factors of concern, identify potential hazards, audience proximity, locate safe fueling areas, and coordinate with the on-site programmer. Performances are then adjusted to take these issues into consideration

Yes, fire is dangerous. That's why it's so spectacular to see a fire show. The Illusion of danger is our job. Creative Flame's performers are demonstrated, trained, safe professionals, who take meticulous precautions to ensure that the "danger factor" is percieved, while keeping actual risks to an absolute minimum.

Creative Flame also maintains an EXTENSIVE $3 MILLION DOLLAR INSURANCE POLICY.

We believe ALL fire performers should have insurance, but the fact is, they don't. Creative Flame maintains our Fire liability policy year in & year out, & adhere strictly to the commonly accepted International Fire Performer Safety organizations' rules of conduct. We even provide the client with a certificate of additional insurance bearing the client's name/company as a complimentary service. And over time, we've developed numerous working relationships with Fire Marshals across the US, and provide advice / assistance to clients in securing permits for Fire Perforrmances in your area.

We understand that venues and coordinators may be initially hesitant of having fire as entertainment. Creative Flame maintains an imaculate safety track record without incident, and our comprehensive insurance policy covers you, the venue, the property, and the audience.

EASING CONCERNS with your venue about fire :
**************************************************

*We are dancers and object manipulators using fire as a medium.

* We perform internationally, and have done so for apx 10 years.

* As fire performance has become more popular within the last five years,the growth of our trade has prompted certain regulations from within our own industry. They are the Fire Performer Safety Regulations (FPSR) set forth by the North American Fire Artists' Association. (NAFAA)

* Our industry safety regulations were deemed necessary, as a specific guideline to a number of fire performance-related issues, such as handling & storage of fuels, ceiling height requirements, distance from audience,safety equipment types and methods of application, etc.

* Since the development of the FPSR, several cities, including Los Angeles, have received, and utilized the codes, as a reference guide to dealing with fire performers. Many cities now have certain guidelines and procedures specifically for fire performance.

* NAFAA rules have been implemented by the world fire performance community as generally accepted operating standards.

* The methods of fire we employ are considered Type I devices. Meaning, there is no internal or external fuel supply connected to the apparatus. Unless otherwise specified in writing, and only with proper authorized handlers, We do not work with propane, gasoline, pyrotechnics, flame cannons, fireworks, or any other potentially combusitble outside fuel source.

* The average burn time on a Type I device is 3-4 minutes. When the fuel on the wicking is gone, so, too is the flame. For a frame of reference, A common fire eating torch isequivalent to 5 pocket lighters.
