1. Why fireworks?
Fireworks bring people together in one place for one purpose which
helps to promote community camaraderie, spirit and patriotism.
It's the least expensive way to entertain thousands and even tens
of thousands of people. Fireworks sponsorship benefits include
consumer and governmental recognition and appreciation, which
will promote your public image and/or product awareness.

6. Do I need approvals and who do I call first?
Yes, you need to apply and receive a fireworks display permit for either
a private or public fireworks program. A telephone call must be made
to the local Fire Department for the required information pertaining to
a firework display permit. Fireworks by Grucci will assist you as part of
our expertise and service.
return to questions

7. Do I need insurance?

your fireworks budget.
return to questions

8. How big an area do we need to display the fireworks?
A fallout zone is needed to keep the audience a safe distance from
the location where the fireworks are fired. The size of the fallout zone
is determined based upon the size of the largest fireworks
shell displayed.

For an average program the minimum distance is a 500 foot
diameter fallout zone. For larger, state-of-the-art programs,
a diameter of up to 2,000 feet may be necessary for the
fallout zone.
