Success!

I got an e-mail back from Jersey Fire Station today saying that it would be fine for me film at the fire station. They told me they have a piece of equipment  called a 'vapour dispersal' which would be perfect for what I have asked for. They have asked, in return, for me to help contribute to community safety and help provoke the use of fire alarms.

This is perfect as now I have a place to film and 'rain' I can now begin choreographing the dance.

Here is a copy of my e-mail that I sent the fire station and the e-mail I got back from them:

Hi, my name is Amy O'Brien, and I am a A-level student at JCG.
For part of my media project I need to produce the introduction to a
film I have made up.
I am a dancer and therefore thought about doing a dancing film. I liked
the idea of having my dancers dancing in water and thought about the La
Frigate fountains. However, the water board tell me they are waiting for
a part to arrive to enable them to turn the fountains back on.
This forced me to re-think where I will film the 4-5 minute intro to my
AS film.
I wondered if there was any chance I, plus my dancers, would be able to,
in any way, use part of the fire station to film the introduction. I
have the idea of my dancers dancing in rain, but would have to wait for
a big down pour to happen before I could do this, so, i was thinking a
hose? and point it upwards so the water would fall down onto the
dancers, giving the effect of rain, with a fire truck in the background
or part of the fire station to give bonus effect.
We would not be there for long as we would just need to shoot the dance
a few times from different angles. I understand I am asking a lot! But I
thought I would ask just in case. If this is in any way possible it
would be perfect!
Amy.

Hi Amy,

We would love to help out with your project.

We have an item of equipment called a 'vapour dispersal' monitor which
puts up a rather impressive vertical and horizontal 'fan' of water which
would seem to fit your needs.

However if we were to do this I'd expect a favour in return :-)
something that would contribute to community safety, in particular
encouraging people to fit smoke alarms.

If you come back to me with some preferred dates (at least 30 days in
advance if possible) and ideas of how many dancers, how long and amount
of space required, we will organise something.

Regards
