Show Description
This is a ground effects display fired from the walking path on the southeast edge of the
lake. The display is thirteen minutes in length and is electronically fired. All aerial shells
are 2.5" in diameter or less, which requires a minimum safety distance of 175 feet; we
plan on 200 feet from the closest person or structure in all directions.
This display complies with NFPA-1126 and 1123. The lead pyrotechnician will have full
visual access of all effects prior to and during firing. The assistant pyrotechnicians will
have 2.5 gallon water extinguishers on site and will provide a fire watch. The
pyrotechnician will not fire if the area is not secure.
