“Our filming in Rose Hill involves controlled pyrotechnic devices and specials effects which will be cleared by the Rose Hill Fire and Police Departments in advance. They include small explosions, controlled fires, gunfire, atmospheric smoke as well as stunt activity. Although we are filming overnight, the special effects last for several minutes and you will not hear gunfire continuously throughout the evening. We have also requested permission to apply fake snow to our filming area which will be removed upon completion of our filming activities. We will notify the Rose Hill PD immediately prior to the commencement of gunfire.”
