World's largest "daytime fireworks" display!

 

Poor camera work, but great idea. I would love to do this in Camden.

edited: As people seem to have misunderstood the intent of my post.. which was some subtle, dry, British humour towards Paul for posting a link without any explanation, I have increased the size of the smiley.

Thanks for the link, that's awesome. I really appreciate all the work that has gone into that. Me and my buddy are pyros, and just got started into computerized shooting last year. We hope do pull off a synchronized musical shoot this year with our club.

come on people! stop being so serious.. my post was a cut and paste of the 'General Discussion' guidelines... with a smiley added!

 

In hindsight my humour was too subtle and I'll go back to wrapping Christmas presents.

 

(note: Paul has since added some text as to why he posted.)

How do you go about getting licensed for that? I can never find a definitive source for that process.

We shoot mostly consumer fireworks that we rig to be electronically fired. You'd be surprised what is available in 1.4 consumer werks if you know where to look. We purchase wholesale by the case, so get stuff MUCH cheaper than your typical store (in legal states of course). We shoot them at events that our club sanctions and gets all the local permits for. Typically we also have a BATF license holder for 1.3g professional werks (the big stuff). As long as he is on premiss, anyone can handle and shoot the big stuff. You just can't remove the 1.3g stuff from the site, only the license holder can, and it has to be stored in an approved magazine. There's nothing like hand-lighting a 6" mortar!

 

To get into the field as a career, typically you would need a PGI cert. Also a good idea if you are going to handle 1.3g at the shoot site. http://www.pgi.org/training/

I am VERY interested in this! Thanks so much for the link. It looks like the training is mostly done in Missisippi. Have you heard of it being done anywhere else?

I took the class in PA right across the border. Different organizations host the training, and they get lots of people like emergency responders or fire inspectors signed up. Keep an eye on the PGI site, as more classes will pop up in the spring.

 

Look into http://www.thenlpc.org/ , and the Pyrouniverse forums http://www.pyrouniverse.com/ for a start.

awsome. Thanks. and I will.
