HomeMy WebLinkAboutFS 2010-06-08 Item 2A - Permit - Family 4th Fireworks PermitBACKGROUND City of Tukwila INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Haggerton Finance Safety Committee FROM: Don Tomaso, Fire Marshal DATE: May 21, 2010 SUBJECT: Tukwila's Family Fourth event on July 4, ISSUE The City has received an application for public fire works display at Starfire Sports complex in conjunction with the City sponsored Tukwila's Family Fourth Event. The event is held in the northwest corner of the complex, with the fireworks being discharged from the northeast corner of the complex. Tukwila Municipal Code 8.12.20 regulates Fireworks within the City in addition to RCW 70.77. TMC requires that the City Council approve all Public Displays under TMC 8.12.20.b. The application was received more than 14 days prior to the proposed display and has been investigated by the Fire Marshal's Office and found to comply with the requirements listed in RCW 70.77. This will be the eighth year we have had displays at this location with the same pyrotechnician. Given the location of the display the Fire Marshal's office will require the same safety conditions as in previous years to mitigate potential fallout and crowd control issues. In addition, this year we will require two additional fire watch personnel to be on the new Seattle Sounder FC sports turf field. Last year we used hose lines to wet the field and to be available for immediate use in case of falling debris that was still hot. We had two small scorch marks that occurred. To prevent that type of damage this year, we will require that the sport turf fields be covered in vis- queen, and we will flood that with water. This should extinguish any hot debris on impact before it can damage the field. ANALYSIS This event has been very successful for the City and citizens that attend, with attendance increasing each year. There have been no major emergency events in previous years in regard to fire or aid calls. We have experienced the normal type of minor fire and aid calls typical for crowds of this size. RECOMMENDATION Approve the proposed public fireworks display permit and forward this to the Council agenda for June 14 and 21 Jim Haggerton, Mayor INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 ATTACHMENTS A copy of the condition's letter and a site map is attached for reference as well as a copy of TMC 8.12, RCW 70.77.255, 70.77.260, and 70.77.280 through 70.77.295.

Olivas, Fire Chief Date: May 21, 2010 To: Chief Olivas From: B/C Tomaso� Re: Public Fire Works Display Permit I have reviewed the permit application information provided by Mr. Tom Whitacre, who has applied for the permit for a public fireworks display at the Starfire Sports Complex, 14600 Starfire Way. Mr. Whitacre is a licensed Pyrotechnic Operator with the State of Washington and with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Fire Arms. The State Department of licensing also licenses Mr. Whitacre to transport fire works. The display will be held in conjunction with the City's planned event on the 4 of July, "Family Fun at the Fort", being organized by the Parks and Recreation Department. This will be a 35 to 40 minute show starting at approximately 2200 hours. The fireworks will be transported to the site in the AM of July 4 and will be under the required supervision until they are discharged. The mortar tubes and other equipment will be brought to the location on July 2 3rd The application was reviewed to WAC 212 -17 and accepted industry standards, and we find everything is within these guidelines. I do have some concerns this year regarding the railroad right of way, Seattle Sounders FC practice fields and the limited access this allows. In addition, a portion of the fallout area includes a portion of a commercial property within the City of Renton. I have contacted Renton Fire Officials and have not received a response at the time of this memo. Last year the Renton Fire Marshal approved our plan, which is the same as in previous years. Crowd control can be a potential issue, as the crowd that assembles to watch the fire works show has increased each and every year. Last year the traffic leaving the site was managed with the available Tukwila Police on site and available patrol units. To mitigate these issues I believe the following measures should be done: Headquarters Station: 444 Andover Park East Tukwila, Washington 98188 Phone: 206 -575 -4404 Fax: 206 -575 -4439 City of Tukwila Page 2 Stage two fire apparatus at the site: one apparatus on each side of the Railroad right of way. Apparatus shall be out of service during the display and for 30 minutes following the display. Cover the Seattle sounder FC practice fields with vis- queen, tape the seams and flood with water. This will allow hot debris to and in water which should extinguish it immediately and should reduce the risk of damage to the fields. Stage two firefighters in the Seattle Sounder FC practice fields as fire watch personnel with portable extinguishers and garden hoses supplied by Starfire staff. Have Tukwila Police provide crowd control during the public display. A minimum of 4 officers will be required. Provide traffic control to the Fort Dent Way and Interurban Ave intersection to expedite traffic flow. (2 additional Tukwila Police shall be available to respond to the site if requested.) Comply with Fire Works Permit Conditions attached. Headquarters Station: 444 Andover Park East Tukwila, Washington 98188 Phone: 206 -575 -4404 Fax: 206 -575 -4439 To: Mr. Tom Whitacre From: B /C.

Mullet, Mayor Fire Department David Pargas Assistant Fire Marshal Renton Fire Department 1055 S Grady Way Renton, WA 98055 Nicholas J. Olivas, Fire Chief RE: Public Firework Display's Dear Dave: The City of Tukwila will again be sponsoring a public fireworks show on July 4 this year at the Starfire Sports Complex that borders the City of Renton. As a result of this close proximity to Renton, a portion of the fallout area is within the Renton City limits. I have always notified and obtained approval from your office. As in past years the City will stage a 3 person overtime Engine Company on the Renton side of the railroad tracks in the event of a fireworks related incident. There is a small portion of one commercial building that falls within the fallout area, and this engine company will provide coverage for this facility as well. The engine company will be on site 30 minutes prior to the start of the display and remain on location for 30 minutes after the show's completion. In addition, we have an engine company located on the Tukwila side of the railroad tracks within the Starfire Complex. We have held this event for the last 8 years at this location without an incident related to the fireworks display and no events within the City of Renton. In previous years we have had issues on the 4 with individuals bringing in consumer and illegal fireworks for personal use, so we have signed the park and increased Police presence to remediate this issue with good success. Headquarters Station: 444 Andover Park East Tukwila, Washington 98188 Phone: 206 -575 -4404 Fax: 206 -575 -4439 City of Tukwila Page 2 I have attached a site diagram for your convenience; if you have any further questions please contact me at 206 575 -4407.
