Fire performances create a captivating spectacle, perfect for outdoor evening events in Singapore. Their dynamic visuals leave a lasting impression on guests, making them ideal for brand activations or festive gatherings. However, safety and logistics are paramount when incorporating fire into your event program.
At Luxoria Entertainment, we specialise in delivering safe and stunning fire performances. We work closely with event planners to manage all necessary permits and ensure strict safety compliance. This guide outlines everything you need to know about hiring fire performers in Singapore.
Understanding Fire Performance Styles
Fire performers offer a range of acts, from solo artistry to synchronised group routines. Styles include fire poi, fire staff, fire breathing, and fire eating. A solo fire dancer can provide a focused, intimate show, while a duo or trio creates a larger-scale spectacle, suitable for venues like Gardens by the Bay or a beach party on Sentosa.
Consider the performance duration; typical acts range from 5 to 15 minutes. For longer events, multiple short performances spread throughout the evening can maintain excitement and allow guests to enjoy the show from different vantage points.
Essential Safety Protocols and Permits
Safety is our top priority for fire acts. All Luxoria Entertainment fire performers are highly trained and adhere to strict safety guidelines. This includes having a dedicated safety officer on site, using appropriate fire suppression equipment (e.g., fire extinguishers, fire blankets), and maintaining safe distances from the audience and structures.
Obtaining necessary permits from authorities like the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) is crucial. We handle all permit applications, which typically require submission 3 to 4 weeks prior to the event date. Venues must also provide clear approval for fire acts on their premises.
Site Requirements and Logistics
Fire performances must be conducted in an open, outdoor area with sufficient clearance. We recommend a minimum performance area of 5m x 5m, with a safety buffer zone of at least 3m from any audience members, tents, or flammable materials. The ground surface should be non-flammable.
We require a designated, secure staging area for performers to prepare and store equipment. Access to a water source nearby is also ideal. Our team will conduct a thorough site recce to assess suitability and advise on optimal placement.
Cost Considerations for Fire Performers in Singapore
The cost of hiring fire performers in Singapore varies based on the number of performers, duration, and complexity of the act. A solo fire performer for a 10-minute show might range from SGD 800 to SGD 1,500. A duo or trio performing for 15 minutes could cost SGD 1,800 to SGD 3,500.
These prices typically include performer fees, basic equipment, and the safety officer. Permit application fees (if any, typically SGD 50 to SGD 100) and any enhanced staging or lighting requests may be additional. Book early, especially for peak seasons like National Day or New Year's Eve, to secure availability.
