Aerial Fireworks

Although aerial fireworks will perform differently based on several factors, as a general rule, an aerial shell will travel 100' in altitude and have a minimum burst diameter of 45' for every inch of shell diameter. Additionally, NFPA safety guidelines require that we locate fireworks at least 70' away from spectators for every inch of shell diameter. Thus, a 6" shell, for example, must be placed at least 420 feet away from spectators and will travel roughly 600 feet high before bursting into a pattern that, at minimum, will essentially cover a football field.
