About Thomas

Thomas de Vuurspuwer (Thomas the Firebreather) Creating unforgettable experiences through fire, teamwork and wonder. From firebreathing workshop, Expedition Robinson IT (scrum style) burning hands and making fire and fireshows. One of the most experienced fire-breathing performers and instructors in the Netherlands, also fire stuntman and First Emergency Responds intructor (BHV instructor of the NIBHV in the Netherlands). For more than a decade have I dedicated my life to sharing the fascination of fire in a way that is safe, inspiring, educational and unforgettable. What started as a childhood fascination after witnessing the fire spectacle during the opening ceremony of the 2000 Sydney Olympics grew into a full-time profession, reaching ten thousands of participants and audiences across Europe. With www.Fierce360.nl – Unite & Ignite! Did we bring in firebreathers from around the globe, Guinness worldrecordholders came together firebreathing together. Anyone with 360+ people and one day of time? With Thomas and his team, materials and teaching skills can you improve a Guinness worldrecord and create one unique experience that will last lifelong within one day in Europe. Today, with the combination entertainment, education, safety expertise and team development into unique experiences that bring people together do companies like VodafoneZiggo, ProRail (Dutch railway), Ballast Nedam (construction company) and others book me for outstanding safety. Fireshows inside caves like La Caverne in Limburg for the company "van Melick Groep" the biggest hospitality company in the south of the Netherlands. Woodies food & drinks in Doetichem (where the king ate during his last Royal visit on kingsday.) and many other hospitality companies book me. I have a Risk Inventory and Evaluation for both massive festival size firebreathing events and workshops. Can deliver my workshop anywhere in Europe. What do I over? * Workshop firebreathing for 1 up to 1.000 people within 3 hours breathing safely and with fun. * Expedition Robinson (IT scrum) firemaking & burning hands (Check my Instragram reels for the one with VodafoneZiggo) * Fireshow interactive, humor and spectacular. and I Quote Camiel van Engelen, of Kloster Grafenthal in Germany with 100.000+ visitors every year "I have seen many fireshows, yours is the most interactive and fun, engagement with both English, German and Dutch public while firebreathing? Impressive!" Duration of the show is 30 minutes, without wireless headset up to 200 people. * Other concepts, just call, ask and tailor made for any development goal or passive experience.
