The Squamish-Lillooet Regional District (SLRD) has confirmed that the television series Fire Country will continue filming at Minaty Bay between November 20 and December 10.
According to an SLRD filming notice, production activity will include special-effects fire, atmospheric smoke, stunts, and simulated pyrotechnics on site. The production also plans to use an unmanned aerial vehicle (drone) for several scenes. Filming will take place entirely on private property, the notice states.
Overnight shoots are scheduled for Nov. 25 and Dec. 1–3 from 5 p.m. to 6 a.m. A reduced crew will remain at the location between Dec. 4 and 10, 7 a.m.–7 p.m. daily, for post-production clean-up.
A member of the fire department will be present during filming, and security staff will monitor equipment and sets throughout. If you have questions, contact Production Manager Scott Walden at 604-453-4800. While filming is underway, Assistant Location Manager Lucas Chenell will be available on site at 1-418-997-5204.
