3 Essential Tips For A Great Fireworks Display

If you want to hire the services of Atlanta Georgia fireworks display company, you need to know some secrets that can yield to a wonderful firework display. Here they are:

  1. Safety

Safety is always the number one consideration. Always think safety for the shooter, the crowd, animals & property. Common sense and sober responsible adults are the keys to safety. Taking time to plan your fireworks show and thinking about safety will prevent most incidents.

Shooters must be sober responsible adults and wear proper personal protection. All shooters must wear eye protection and proper clothing. Firemen turnouts are the best but Carhart’s or other heavy clothing with a collar can work. No nylon or rayon fabric that could melt from the touch of a spark should be worn. A hat or helmet should be worn to protect the head.

The crowds must be a safe distance from the show. Someone should be in charge of crowd control. If someone goes into the safety zone the show should stop until the area is clear. This should be discussed in the safety meeting with the shooters before the show.

The fireworks should only be discharged in areas approved by the local authorities. The local fire department should be notified. Do not discharge fireworks near buildings, wooded areas, dry fields or in areas where fire or noise is a concern. Discharge the fireworks downwind of the crowd and never angle or shoot the fireworks over the crowd.

  1. Secrets of a great show

Always make sure that something is in the air. There should be little if any dead time. Continue to build the excitement and emotions. Finish with a solid finale. Start with the smaller fireworks and end with a good finale, with lots of fireworks going off at one time. A fireworks show is a work of art in the sky.

A great firework show requires time to plan your show and time to layout the fireworks. It takes several people to shoot a show so there is a constant flow with little dead time. Six shooters are a good number. Volunteer firefighters are good shooters. The shooters should be reminded they are there to shoot the fireworks and must pay attention to safety, and should not stand around and watch to much or there will be too much dead time in the air.

  1. The layout

Take some time to plan your fireworks show. You should have one to two rows of fireworks perpendicular to the crowd. In each row put the smaller multi-shot items in the front. For the larger shows with two rows, put the same items in each row, in the same order. The rows should be 50 feet apart.

Begin the show with an attention grabber, usually a string of firecrackers or one single mortar shell. Next, start with the smaller multi-shot items. Both rows should be shot off at the same time, one item at a time.

Conclusion

Fireworks is art and there are many ways to please the eye. If you like a longer slower show you can have only one row of multi-shot items.
