Primary red would be Lee #106 for example, but I'd say you need more something like a light red (Lee #182) or maybe Rosco Fire (this is a nice "burning" red color, I don't know the Rosco number right now).
Lee Filters has a pretty cool tool to chose gel colors: http://www.leefilters.com/lighting/products/colours/

It's a red clear sheet of plastic that the light passes through making the room red. You can clothes pin them to some lights, but don't get them to close to the light they can melt. :violent5:

This may be a bit advanced, but Fotokem recommends that if the scene is lit entirely with red light that you use purple light instead and time it red in post.
Shooting with only red light will produce soft images with film and video, and can create chroma bleeding problems in video.
By adding some blue light to the mix, you have some higher wavelengths to balance out the long red wavelength light, and preserve detail.
If this sounds at all confusing, just use a red gel.
