Firepower Displays Unlimited custom designs all our displays to make your event the ultimate in fireworks entertainment. We work with our customer and design each display to meet their budget, color scheme, duration, or particular need. For this reason we do not have set pricing as do other display companies. We follow the strictest safety procedures at all times, including the environmentally safe use of smoke. Minimum outdoor displays will start at $2,500.00 for land shows and $3500.00 for barge shows (water).Each event includes:
- Site inspection
- Pyrotechnician and/or crews
- Transportation to and from the display in accordance with all DOT regulations
- Setup and firing of the show
- All required permits and insurance
- Fire Marshal (fire watch)
- Removal of equipment
Permits
All outdoor and indoor displays require
permits from local authorities and insurance. Fire department requirements
to obtain fireworks permits for indoor and outdoor pyrotechnics vary
with each county or city, but most request at least 15 days. Permit
fees include a fire watch for stand-by fire fighters. Fireworks may
not be shot without a permit or fire watch and may not be shot from
residential areas. Also, each city or municipality has noise ordinances
that prohibit the shooting of fireworks past certain times. Typically
cities do not allow fireworks after 10:30 pm for events that do not
take place on holidays such as New Year's and 4th of July.
Coast Guard permits are required for all displays taking place over
water. Coast Guard requirements are stricter and require 60-135 days
to obtain permits. Typically new events which we have not shot in
the past require 135 days. This means essentially that although another
fireworks company may have shot fireworks for you in the past, if
this is a first time event with us, you will still require the 135
days. However, if your event takes place yearly or if we shoot from
the same site for you all the time, the 60 day rule applies.
Customers may request a copy of permits and insurance for their event.
Display Types:
Indoor Pyrotechnics
This type of display is great for concerts, sporting events, theme
parks, weddings, special effects in film or theatre – any time
you want to make an event spectacular. They are used with great safety
and control because of their precise and predictable performance.
These fireworks do not generate the smoke of aerial fireworks and
effects can vary from puffs of smoke, flashes of light, large booms.
These fireworks are used in instances where outdoor fireworks cannot
be done. From indoors we can create the same excitement and entertainment
that we create outdoors.
Indoor Centerpiece
This effect is great for Banquets, Wedding Receptions, Birthdays,
and Corporate Gatherings. We have two types of effects for this kind
of display. One option is to place in the center of each table small
confetti or streamer mines which remotely launch from each table all
at once or individually. We can also place display tabletop fountains
in the same manner. The fountains project a silver or gold plume of
sparks and have duration of forty-five seconds. These can also be
done to include a red, blue or green sparks. This adds an additional
margin of safety by not causing any fire hazard, as well as the benefit
of not having an explosion or loud burst.
Close
Proximity Pyrotechnics
These displays are designed to entertain groups of people - corporate
events, grand openings, weddings, quinces, and sporting events. These
fireworks have less fallout and so are great for events where area
is very limited. They provide you with an "up close and personal"
experience. This display has a wide variety of low level effects visible
from ground level to a height of 200 feet in the sky. A 150-foot radius
is needed from the discharge area to the audience viewing area for
this type of display. We can also provide daytime displays which typically
produce color smoke, brilliant colors, whistles, and loud booms.
Outdoor Aerial
This display is great when you have a very large area. Your audience
can view this display from across many areas throughout the event.
This type of display is generally used for major celebrations such
as the 4th of July and New Years. The fireworks used for this kind
of display are exhibition display shells ranging form 2" to 16"
in diameter and exploding 300 to 1,600 feet in the sky. This style
of show is simply spectacular with ground shaking booms, patterns
and colors exploding over the night sky. These displays require a
350' - 1,200' radius from the discharge area(s) to the audience. Aerial
displays can be land based or water based off barges. Barge displays
have the added benefit of the fireworks reflecting off the water,
but also require more permitting time. Pyromusicals can be done as
well. Pyromusicals are aerial displays that are fired fully synchronized
to music. It is a good idea to choose music that the audience can
relate to. You may want highs and lows but most of it should be upbeat
when listening.
Flaming Set-Piece Signs
A set piece is a sign that displays any name, slogan, logo, or picture
outlined in pyrotechnic colors. This is a great way to personalize
any display. They add marketing value to a program by offering a unique
opportunity to recognize sponsors on-site. They may be used in place
of traditional event banners and signage. This is also great for weddings
or any other special event. For example, we can display the bride
and grooms names with a red heart in the center. They can range in
size and complexity and can be incorporated in both land and water
based shows. The duration of a set piece is approximately 1 minute.
