What are the regulations governing pyrotechnics in my area? How do I get a pyro license?

The regulations governing pyro can vary greatly from state to state, sometimes even county to county! There are, however, some standard procedures you should follow if you want to avoid possible problems with your local authorities. Pick up a copy of NFPA #1126 (our product #BK11), the Standard for use of pyrotechnics with a proximate audience.

After you' ve read that, contact your local Fire Marshall or fire safety inspector to discuss your plans. When speaking with fire safety officials, be careful not to refer to your effects as "fireworks" unless you're actually using outdoor fireworks in your show. The regulations governing outdoor fireworks displays are usually much more stringent, so remember - "indoor pyrotechnics".

Finally, if you'd like our bulletin with more information about pyro licensing and regulations, check out http//theatrefx.com/products/pyroregs.pdf (or ask us to mail or fax you a hard copy - it's our #BK21 and it's free). More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
