After careful review of the application submitted by the Committee to Celebrate the Lunar New Year a plan was developed which will enable pyrotechnic experts from the Fire Department's Explosives Unit and Zenith Pyrotechnology of Deer Park, to provide a safe, controlled demonstration of precision theatrical fireworks. The Year of the Rabbit. This year's display will consist of approximately 192 pre-loaded red confetti effects and 192 sound flashes that accompany the colorful display. Because these are theatrical fireworks they do not produce a spark, reducing any chance for injury. This agreement proves that by working together, we can find ways to balance the cultural traditions that are so important to us with the need to keep our residents safe.
Fireworks can cause serious injuries, including the loss of fingers, hands, and vision.
We intend to continue our zero tolerance approach to the sale and use of illegal fireworks. Tragically, each year thousands of Americans are needlessly injured, maimed or seriously burned from the use of fireworks.
