Show Description
This is a ground effects display fired from the parking lot on the east side of the lake.
The display is eight 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.
There is also a close proximity set piece on the same side of the lake as the audience.
This is made using indoor 1.4G lances that require a 15 foot safety distance.
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.
