All inquiries regarding EMS participation must be made through the Film Permit Coordinator a minimum of five (5) working days in advance. Short notice requests will be considered on an individual basis by the Superintendent of Operational Administration (EMS) and every effort will be made to accommodate filming companies.

Requests for assistance should be in writing and include the following information:
  • number of paramedic units required
  • number of paramedics required
  • special equipment requested
  • date, time and estimated duration of filming
  • technical advisors requested for medical scripts
Any special considerations for filming, such as protective gear needed or special skills that may be required should also be outlined.

EMS can provide standby units/paramedics to the film company during potentially dangerous situations. Multiple day assignment rates are negotiable.
