HomeMy WebLinkAboutFS 2013-06-04 Item 2B - Permit - Family 4th Fireworks PermitTO: City of Tukwila Jim Haggerton, Mayor INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM Mayor Haggerton Finance and Safety Committee FROM: Chris Flores, Acting Fire Chief BY: B/C Don Tomaso, Fire Marshal DATE: May 21, 2013 SUBJECT: Fireworks Permit for 4th of July at Starfire ISSUE Require City Council approval for the annual fireworks permit for the Tukwila Parks and Recreation Family 4th at Starfire Sports Complex. BACKGROUND The City of Tukwila has been sponsoring a family oriented 4th of July celebration for the last 12 years. This is one of the most successful City sponsored events in terms of public attendance and participation. This event will draw in excess of 5,000 people to the park to view and participate in the festivities scheduled by Parks and Recreation. DISCUSSION Parks and Recreation has retained the same fireworks company, Western Display Fireworks, Ltd., a company with 61 years of experience in public displays. We will use the same location as last year to avoid protecting the sports turf fields in the Northeast corner of the facility. This fireworks discharge location will be in the Southwest corner of the facility on the natural grass fields. Additionally, the largest aerial shell will be reduced from 6" to 3 "; this allows for a smaller safety perimeter. Western Display has also proposed several ground displays that the crowd will be able to see when looking south. FINANCIAL IMPACT This event is funded through the Parks and Recreation Department. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that Council approve the permit at the June 17, 2013 Regular Meeting under the Consent Agenda.

Olivas, Fire Chief Date: May 21, 2013 To: Acting Chief Flores From: B/C Tomaso, Fire Marshal Re: Public Fireworks Display Permit I have reviewed the permit application information provided by Western Display Fireworks, Ltd. They have applied for the permit for a public fireworks display at the Starfire Sports Complex, 14600 Starfire Way. Western Display is a licensed Pyrotechnic Company with the State of Washington and with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Fire Arms. The display will be held in conjunction with the City's planned event on the 4th of July, "Family Fun at the Fort", being organized by the Parks and Recreation Department. This will be a 30 to 40 minute show starting at approximately 2200 hours. The fireworks will be transported to the site in the AM of July 41" 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 4th as well. The application was reviewed to WAC 212 -17 and accepted industry standards, and we find everything is within these guidelines. This year the display will be in the Southwest corner of the facility. This change has eliminated the concerns regarding the railroad right — of — way, Seattle Sounders FC practice fields and the limited access this allows. In addition, we will no longer have a portion of the fallout area within the City of Renton. We will however, have a small portion of the 6720 Fort Dent Way Office building within the South edge of the fallout zone. Crowd control can be a potential issue, as the crowd that assembles to watch the fire works show has increased each and every year. This year has the potential for a larger crowd as Seattle has cancelled the Lake Union fireworks show. 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 47 City of Tukwila Page 2 • Stage two fire apparatus at the site: one apparatus on each side of the river in order to cover the 6720 Fort Dent Office building. Apparatus shall be out of service during the display and for 30 minutes following the display. • 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.
