CITY COUNCIL MEMO
DATE: SEPTEMBER 25, 2012
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: KEN DUBUC, FIRE CHIEF
SUBJECT: PUBLIC DISPLAY OF FIREWORKS PERMIT
Summary: RCW 70.77.280 requires approval from the governing body for discharging fireworks
on days other than the 4 of July. The High School homecoming game has had a public fireworks
display for the past several years.
Recommendation: Approve Aurora Fireworks, LLC., to conduct a public display of fireworks on
September 28, 2012, at Civic Field for the Port Angeles High School homecoming game.
Background Analysis: The City of Port Angeles Fire Department has received a request from
Aurora Fireworks, LLC., to conduct a public display of fireworks on September 28, 2012. RCW
70.77.280 requires local fire officials receiving a request to conduct a public display of fireworks,
investigate whether the character and location of the display proposed would be hazardous to
property or dangerous to persons. A report of findings and a recommendation for or against the
issuance of the permit shall then be forwarded to the governing body of the City. The governing
body may grant or deny the application and may place reasonable conditions on the permit.
The Fire Department has received a request from Aurora Fireworks, LLC., and has the following
findings.
1. The company is currently licensed with the State Fire Marshal's Office for discharging a
public display of fireworks.
2. The company has provided proof of insurance for the event.
3. The pyrotechnician in charge of discharging is state licensed.
4. The Port Angeles Fire Department will have a fire engine on standby at Civic Field during
the event.

purchased at any local fireworks stand.
As a result of these findings, approval is recommended for Aurora Fireworks, LLC., to conduct a
public display of fireworks on September 28, 2012, at Civic Field for the Port Angeles High
School homecoming game.
