7. 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. Grucci can assist you in determining what type of fireworks show your site can safely display.
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.
