Australian Crawl - Boys light up
Johny Cash - Ring of fire
Bonnie Tyler - I need a hero
Aretha Franklin - Rescue Me
The Living End - Save the day
Nicleback - Savin' me

That's about all I can remember for now...
On a side but related note, a really good track for slide-shows is Clocks, by Coldplay - seems to work no matter what you do with the images! :)

have to second "Bonnie Tyler - I need a hero", I did put it as the soundtrack to some footage of our brigade training (squirting hose around and burnover drill) and it's fantastic, really funny.

another good one is the Trans-Siberian Orchestra "Wizards in Winter" (a guy from ozfire in NSW used it for a slideshow he did a while ago, which is where I saw it).

I think Australian country music sung by Lee Kernaghan or Kasey Chambers would be suited best for fire/rescue theme music cause were an Australian fire service  :wink:
Title: Re: Fire/rescue music
Post by: SA Firey on November 23, 2006, 10:02:45 PM
Yeah right....we're the boys in the bush and were back in town :-o

Havent seen that in any fire/rescue movies....we dont want to be put to sleep :-D
Title: Re: Fire/rescue music
Post by: Robert-Robert34 on November 25, 2006, 02:49:16 PM
Still it would be a good song to have as fire/rescue music cause were a fire service that goes bush and fights bush & scrub fires so its a perfect match

Or have a classic Aussie Rules Football song like Rockin Footy  :roll:

But we also respond to road crashes, structure fires, hazmat, and other things that people call us to... 

Should we ignore those aspects of our services, by only playing country music related to "the bush?"  :evil:

Lee KErnaghan sings about circlework in utes and utes on their own and Adam Brand has "Dirt Track Cowboys", these involve cars. :mrgreen:

That spiderman hero theme song by CHad Kroeger.

AC/DC Thundertorm....the song while circlework was being done by utes for the Holden ad

Do you have problems with song copyrights if you use it in a promo video to the wider public audience.

It seems you do if you wanna sing a song at the cricket.

Post by: bajdas on November 26, 2006, 07:44:25 PM
I think 'We are the champions' by Queen is great on the way home after a sucessfully completed incident.

Maybe you can use that at the end of the video.

Another good choice but I hope the new appliances have CD players fitted to them as standard :lol:

I heard of an experiment years ago done by an overseas emergency service. Instead of sirens they were playing music on P1 response, to see if that would get car drivers to move over.

I think it would be great to play the 18/12 overture with the cannons when you round the last corner to the incident.

Hmm, very, very tempting.  Can think of several areas near by where "Duelling Banjos" through the PA is extremely appropriate...


Just remember, by silent agreement, "Waltz of Valkeries" is reserved by the flyboys...

bearing in mind also that its not the sort of thing you'd do parked in a residential area, or on the roadside.
