Dynamic Wind Effects for Film & Events | Mobile, High-Power & Controlled Wind Rigs
Firehouse Effects provides professional wind effects for film productions, TV shoots, commercials, and live events throughout South Africa and abroad. From small handheld blowers to V8-powered wind machines that simulate gale-force storms, we offer a full range of controlled wind generation solutions. Our wide range of electric wind machines with variable speed drives are powered by our own trailer-mounted generators and offer the advantages of being reliable, quiet and adjustable to our client’s needs. Our combustion engine wind machines, while louder, offer the advantages of being self-contained. They are suited to being mobile, lifted to great heights or working in difficult access locations. We offer 4x4-mounted, gimballed wind rigs for maximum manoeuvrability around tight sets or quick, time-saving changes to camera angles. Vehicle-mounted rigs are also perfect for fast-moving scenes, tracking shots, high-intensity stunt sequences and wind effects in remote locations.
Whether you're creating a subtle breeze on a delicate curtain, a strong gust, or a full storm on a life-size ship, our wind effects are controlled, reliable and cinematically impactful.

Air Effects
Flexible Air Effects for Film & Events | High-Power & Controlled Air Rigs
Firehouse Effects provides professional air effects for film productions, TV and photography shoots, commercials. From small puffs of dust to ground mortar explosions that simulate war, we offer a full range of effects powered by compressed air. Our pressurised air vessels come in a wide range of sizes for tailored and controlled effects powered by our own trailer-mounted air compressor and generators. Compressed air and compressed nitrogen are non-reactive, which offers an essential alternative to explosive effects when pyrotechnics and compressed flammable gas may be unsuitable, too risky or overbudget.
