Please find the attached memo in regard to the application for the public fire works display this year at the Starfire baseball complex in conjunction with the City's Family Fun at the Fort 4 of July event. This event has been very successful in past years, and we have not had any fireworks related incident as a result of this show. We have had issues in the past with visitors using fireworks within the park, but have since installed signage notifing the visitors upon entry into the park that fireworks are illegal within Tukwila. This made a significant impact on last years incidents of fireworks being discharged within the park. I have not received confirmation from Assistant Chief Peden, Fire Marshal for the City of Renton. In years past they have had no concerns with the permitted fire works display, however they do have a new Fire Chief this year. I will pass on this confirmation when I receive word from Renton Fire. If any of the Council Members have further questions, please have them contact me at 206 -575 -4404 or e -mail at dtomaso ©ci.tukwila.wa.us. Date: May 29, 2007 City of Tukwila Steven M. Mullet, Mayor Fire Department To: Chief Olivas From: B/C Tomaso Re: Public Fire Works Display Permit 3rd Memorandum Nicholas J. Olivas, Fire Chief 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 Park and Recreation Department. This will be a 25 to 30 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 The application was reviewed to WAC 212 -17 and accepted industry standards, and I find everything is within these guidelines I do have some concerns this year regarding the railroad right of way, baseball fields and the limited access this allows. In addition, a portion of the fall out 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 Headquarters Station: 444 Andover Park East Tukwila, Washington 98188 Phone: 206 -575 -4404 Fax: 206 -575 -4439 City of Tukwila Page 2 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: 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 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.
