Greetings all,


Here's what we've been up to lately.


Script calls for a scene of firefighters trying to save a burning building.


We have to make lots of fire, make it look scary, but not harm the building. hmmmm...tricky.


Step 1 - Rent an Innocent Building


Step 2 - Hire a Scurvy Disreputable XF Crew



Step 3 - Build fireproof boxes around all windows and doors.


Step 3 A - Finish fireproof boxes.


Step 4 - Install propane flamebars and hoses to control station.

Step 5 - Call Fire Department and Film Crew

Step 6 - LIGHT IT UP!

Burn, Burn Burn

Burn burn burn

Burn, burn, burn, shut it down, put it out, go home. Come back tomorrow and clean up.

*****************
So awesome to see more of the behind the scenes stuff that goes into making a television show.
Wonder what type of XF we can expect when we bring Jericho back for Season 3?
