Calling all families in Exeter

We are looking for a volunteer family to feature in our next fire safety video. Could this be you?

To apply – please read the information below and tell us a bit about yourself (link is external)

What we’re looking for

  • A family (any make-up, shape, and size) with children under 18.

  • Living in Exeter and surrounding areas (a 15-mile radius of the city centre).

  • Available for a half-day of filming on either Saturday 13 or Sunday 14. November *timings to suit you.

  • Happy for us to film you and your family in your home.

We love

  • mess
  • noisy kids/teenagers
  • lots of toys
  • animals 
  • normal life!

What we’re hoping to film

We want to create a short video to promote our home safety visit service. We want to show what a home safety visit looks like and let busy families like yourselves know about them.

We would film you and your family in your home with one of our friendly home safety technicians. The video would be used by Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service and our partners to promote home safety visits to residents in Devon and Somerset. We hope the video will encourage families - who can be vulnerable to fires - to have a visit.

What to expect if you’re selected

•    We’ll arrange for you to have a home safety visit in your home.
•    You’ll work with a small friendly team from the fire service.
•    We’ll choose either the 13 or 14 November to film at your home for a half-day.
•    We’ll arrange a free visit to a fire station with you and your family.
•    You will be able to review the video to check you’re happy with the way it is edited before it goes out.
