Questions | Answers |
---|---|
Do children often wander into your store and try to buy fireworks? | I don't work in the store myself, What we do is there's a company (Fireworks America) that we order shells from and the company give the shells to us so we go out and set them up and shoot them off :) |
What's your funniest child trying to buy fireworks story? | However that'd be a funny story haha. |
Edit: aaand OP doesn't work in a store... | That's right, I work in the hot 108° weather from 5am to 1am :D... :'( |
Oh, then. | Worst - Last night we had a hand lit show and one of the shells detonated in the mortar and it blew up like 2 feet from him, luckily he wasn't hurt too bad. |
What's the worst "display gone wrong" you've had? | (Hand lit shows you sit in rows of nortars and the fuses are practically instant so you crawl from one to another) |
what's your best display yet? | Best - Ones that don't go wrong ;) Really cause watching the show literally underneath it is awesome |
Hand lighting shows is a really fun experience and a huge rush. | No doubt! |
Do you have an underneath picture you can show? | I have a video I'll be uploading soon |
A lot of old school guys prefer to hit right at the beginning edge of the paper to get a instant ignition. | I do that! :D |
How many people do you work with when setting up a display? And how many fingers do all of you have combined? | 9 for this one, and all 90 fortunately ;) |
How much money is spent on fireworks ( on a single celebration ) on 4th of July? | $20,000 worth of fireworks in tonight's show. |
That's the price of tonight's show we're doing tonight anyways | |
Only? surely thats only cost price, and not sales price. Or material only, not including paying for fire safety, technicians and set up personnel. | Oh yes, just shells and cakes alone are $20,000 sorry bout that, total price of show? A hell of a lot more than that |
Do you guys have consistent work the other 364 days of the year? | Yes we do, High school graduations, New Years, weddings, all sorts of stuff. |
weddings. Holy shit...Where are these weddings with fucking fireworks?? | Honestly I don't knoe either haha |
Whats a legal firework you think should be illegal ? | Roman Candles >:) |
What illegal firework do you think should be legal?(If any) | Roman Candles >:) |
Not bottlerockets? :( They outlawed them here and I miss them. | Never used them :'( |
Aw man they're my favorites. Like tiny little mortars and whistled as they flew. | My mom used to tell me about bottle rocket fights when she lived in Missouri.. lucky :/ |
You work in pyrotechnics and have never seen/used bottle rockets, even in your personal time? Seriously? | They're illegal in California man :/ it's a shame |
Shouldn't you be a little busy today? | We just finished setting up actually, been working since 5am |
What is that firework that just makes a huge boom? The one with no light, those are my favorite! | I think you're talking about Titanium Salutes:) Essentially, It's just a big concussion grenade! :D. |
It has to be the dark salutes though. The ones with out the tails. | The titanium salutes, at least the ones we use, don't have tails either... But Dark Salutes sound awesome :o |
On big shoots we put a lift charge on some diesel fuel to get a big flame ball. | That's sick! |
Whats the foil type looking stuff on the mortars for? | That's the finale, to keep any hot embers falling on them and igniting them |
Wow, never would of thought that is what that was for, but doesn't it get blown off when the mortars shoot through it? | Zip right through it yup. |
An AMA, nice! I've seen a lot of NatGeo-type shows, so I have a good idea how things work in a general sense. What I'd be curious to know about is the show production culture. Are the guys you work with trying to develop skills, or is this just a job they/you happened into. Is there a certification process? Are you considered an apprentice? Do you want to get into the manufacture side of shell production? | I was more of handed the job, I knew the guys who did the show well enough he just offered a job. There is a certification process as far as bidding for the job, a pyrotechnic license I believe, we just work under the bosses license. There are guys here who want to get there licenses themselves but this might be my last year do it. |
Dude, hope you weren't working the Simi Valley show last night... | Luckily not, but daaamn I watched the videos.. Horrific |
But in my country there might be some limitations (since we don't have the freedom to handle explosives like in the USA). | 4 - Handle them gentley, they are live explosives, created friction or static electricity can accidentally set them off. When loading shells into the mortar, load them right side up, never look over it, safety glasses, pants, etc etc. Just common sense. |
How do you control the sequence? did you buy a controller or is it a DIY? Can you tell some safty measures that you take while handling fireworks for this kind of shows? (while buying, storing, transporting, installing and firing) | 2 - We control sequences by splicing wires together, also timing detonations to the music or what have you. You can order control boards off the internet. |
How do you plan your show? Do you use software, drawings, pictures? | 3 - Many different ways, hand lighting, (Yelling at each other slow down or speed up) electronic (choreograph with music, write down times to detonate shells so it syncs with music) , and you can also use software to do everything completely automatic. |
Don't forget a hardhat either. | I have it right next to me :) |
What is your opinion on illegal fireworks? | Anything that requires being fired from a mortar should be illegal, sucks yes I l know.. but people without a license or proper training can be seriously hurt |
But shouldn't we give them the freedom to hurt themselves? | You do have a point... |
How do you create words with fireworks? this puzzles the beejesus outta me. | Whoever makes the shell arranges pellets in a "U" shape or "S" or "A" and pack powder in the negative space so when it detonates, the spread out in that way l, that's my best guess, sorry I couldn't answer that one well :/ |
Whats the worst accident youve seen? | Last night we had a hand lit show and one of the shells detonated in the mortar and it blew up like 2 feet from him, luckily he wasn't hurt too bad. |
(Hand lit shows you sit in rows of nortars and the fuses are practically instant so you crawl from one to another) | |
Do you have all ten of your fingers? | 1..2..6.. Yup! :D |
Do you have whistling bungholes? | And Whisker do's and Whisker don'ts too. |
I had the oppurturtuty to do tbis a few times. Do hou use flares or or electronics to set them off with? | Some shows we use flares, others we do it electronically |
Which do you prefer? All the crazy guys I worked with loved the flares. | I must say I like flares too haha |
What sort of system does a show use? | There's different types, last night we had a hand lit show, but bigger more important ways we do it electronically where we wire each shell individually.. it's really a bitch to do |
What part of the country are you in? | California |
Bay area? | Central California |
Are u working in the state fair? | Not sure yet |
You said you are in CA, Pyro Spectaculars I assume? I did a show with them last year but decided to sit it out this year and relax for the first time in many years. | Fresno/Clovis area, Yeah honestly I hate it, I'm taking next year off. |
I used to live in Madera, but relocated 7 years ago - are you working the Grizzlies game? | No sir, the Buchanan show at Freedom Fest |
I live near the grizzlies! Though he was talking about an away game. Do firework companies really do fireworks at nba games almost every other day? I went to to fireworks yesterday at a casino and it was seriously amazing. Much better than I expected and better than the memphis city fireworks. Probably because the casinos have a lot of mulah. Have you ever done work at a casino? | No I haven't :/ Our company works from So Cal up to Sacramento, and there are other companies that work in the same area and bid on shows too |
Are they set up on land or a barge over water? | Some shows are different but I'm sure there are shows shot off of barges, All shows I've done has been on land |
How does someone get a job like this? | Getting a pyrotechnics license or something I just got picked up by the boss cause I knew him well enough :D |
San Francisco shoots their fireworks off a barge. | Yes I said I'm sure there are some :) |
How do you line up finales? Are all the shells pre setup and just lit off quickly, or is there a lot of manual work involved constantly setting up new shells to light? | The finales are pre chained, all of the fuses are linked together. Then you just drop the shells in the mortars like a normal shell :) |
Oh and you set up every shell and mortar before the show, it's impossible to reset shells that quickly, you have to drop it, tap it to the bottom, and light the fuse, that process can take anywhere from 5-8 minutes depending on if you have to wire the shell for electronic shows or not | |
What is the biggest change in the firework business since you started and now? | Safety-ness has improved |
Are your fireworks lit by a remote control servo or are they manually lit? | Tonight's show electronic but last night we did a hand lit |
What's your favorite part about your job? And what's your favorite shell/mortar to fire off? | My favorite shell is called a titan salute, it's a giant concussion grenade :D |
Do you think that fireworks are dangerous or the person behind them? | Both, some shells could be defective while the majority of time its the person behind them |
Thanks for the answer! Another question. Have you ever been seriously injured due to a firework if so why/what happened? | No problem! I myself have not, However last night we had a hand lit show and one of the shells detonated 2 feet next to a guy, luckily he wasn't seriously injured, he was in shock for the rest of the night |
Are there any fireworks that closely act like a Komodo 3000 from Malcolm in the Middle? Reference. Obviously it's unrealistic, but what's the closest thing you've seen that could light up the sky, so to speak. If yes, have you ever used one? | There's nothing that I know of that can do that haha, but a bunch of shells in the air over and over (like the finale) definitely lights up the ground so you can see everything |
What kind of qualifications/certifications do you need to get into this line of work? How hard is it to get those credentials? Expensive? | Well don't be a dumbass and be a hard worker will get you a job, yo get your liver (I don't have) I'm sure there's a few courses that I doubt ate expensive |
Shouldn't you be busy? | If you read down I bit I said We're finished setting up, I've been working since 5am |
Why aren't you out shooting fireworks right now? | It's 6:56 in the afternoon, it's still day time |
What kind of debris rains back down after a firework explodes? How far can it travel? | Usually just hot paper, they can travel as far as the wind will take them, also small cardboard pieces or pellets can too, just not as far |
In your expert opinion, what happened here? What do you do in your job to prevent this? Link to youtu.be. | I think I heard something about a faulty activation board |
So if you're using electronics to detonate the fireworks, how exactly does that work? Do you just touch a positive and negative cable and it goes boom? Or do you run them all to a control board? Also, sorry if this is a stupid question. | Hey man don't worry :) Each individual shell has a fuse, we take an E-match and connect it to the fuse on the shell, the ematch is connect to a strip and you connect it much like audio speakers, it doesn't matter if it's positive or negative, just as long as they're in each connector. That strip is ran to a control board where you ignite it with a switch there. Hope that cleared it up :) |
Firework factory blew up a mile from my house in the early 80's. two men died, they are the reason for a lot of the safety measures today, like static electricity discrarge plates and such. What safety precautions have you seen guys skip? And were you ever afraid for your safety as a result of a coworkers actions? | Our boss is pretty anal about safety, as a result no one I've seen has been injured from one of our workers, just defective shells |
How many fingers do you have? (This includes thumbs) | 10 :) |
I take it you did not blow up in tonights display. Everyone else with 10 fingers still? | Yup yup, pretty safe show this time |
If you wanted to, do you have the know-how to make dangerous bombs etc? | Yes I do, with over the counter fireworks. Mt friend and I would break open the tubing inside of the fireworks, take all the powder, and pack it nice and tight in a roll of paper.. boom >:) |
Do you know of any former military EOD guys working in the field? | Nope, but that'd be sweet! |
What gives you the right? | To put up a fence that keeps me out, or mother nature in.. If God was here he'd tell it to your face, man you're some kinda sinner |
At the cedar city show last night, there were multiple charges that went off on the ground, and they all seemed similar? Could this have just been a wiring mistake? (no one was hurt) | Hmm hard to tell... Did it seem like they were supposed to go up? Did the break low or actually on the ground? |
On the ground. A few actualy gave big fireballs, but they were obviously designed to go up. The reason I ask is because probably 10 did this, and all of them looked similar. | If they were meant to go up in the air, probably whoever loaded the shell didn't make sure the shell was properly loaded at the bottom of the mortar |
What is the best firework that the average person can buy? Also, what kind of fireworks are the most impressive for the least amount of money (Bang for your buck haha)? | Honestly not good ones, now illegally you can buy what we use ;) Don't do it though |
15 years in prison and $100,000 fine I believe. | Something along the lines of that yup. |
Would it classify as an explosive by the ATF? And for you other people, if i am correct, that would be the same punishment as owning a illegal frag grenade. | Yes sir, it's illegal to have fireworks of this class without a license. maybe not the same as a frag, but a heavy fine is definite |
Do you know what the law or class is called that they are under? Does class 3 ring a bell? And where do you buy your mortars from? | I don't know about classes, but I do know they are illegal to own if you are not licensed. And mortars are supplied by our company. |
Have you ever worked thunder over louisville or any of the major international shows? If so how do they compare to your run of the mill small town show on the 4th? | Unfortunately we haven't not, sorry :/ |
U/DilDeer, maybe you can explain what went wrong at the fireworks display I was at tonight. The man who hosted the party spent 200k on a fireworks show, and was shooting very very large fireworks off a barge on the lake. During she show, one of the bigger fireworks went really high but didn't go off, but instead fell back down into the very crowded yard and exploded. What in the fuck happened, and who's responsible? | I think I heard about that! The boss man was talking about it... He said a shell may have detonated in the mortar and blew some other mortars over, hot ember ms got inside and caused a chain reaction and shit went down |
What was you're biggest "oh shit " moment? | Hahaha Let's see, last night was a hand lit show and one of the shells blew up in the mortar, and one of our guys was literally two feet from it, he didn't get hurt too bad |
I've wanted to be a pyrotechnic my whole life how do you get certified is they a degree or something you need? | There is certification involved to get your license. I work under the license of my boss but he went for courses offered by the firework company to get certified. |
Low breaks can be pretty scary. | Oh yeah, believe me haha. |
How much does for each shell that goes up? | Not entirely sure but tonight's show, the price for all the shells was around $20,000. |
What education is required to become a professional? | Probably none, I'm sure there's a few courses and some tests involved with |
How much do you make ? | Very little, in back to back days working 5am-1am both days only $240 |
I wish I got to play with the big you alike you, but alas I just worked at a consumer fireworks booth for a week instead. My question is, do you know the name of/have you had experience with the firework that light up the sky? Like the kind in Disneyland's nightly show. | I shoot shows like Disneyland yes :) Not nearly as big though |
That's too bad. When I was a kid , i wanted your job. | Yeah It's really not all that up to be, working in the hot 110°F sun, almost literally all day, loading and unloading all this heavy equipment. Yup, definitely not as fun as I thought. This year is probably my last year, I'm going off to play sports in college and I'll have no time fore it |
Do your ears ring at the end of the night or are you used to the loudness? | My ears do hurt a little, some ringing but not much |
Do you know the name of that firework they have probably 2 dozen of that just lights up the sky? It's a huge streak of intense light and then it's gets insanely bright at its peak. | Unfortunately not, sorry man :/ |
How long does a single firework take to make? | Sorry don't know that one :/ 20-40 mins? |
Suppose I have a long fuse and a couple jars of powder left over from handloading, how far should I run? | Hmmm... is the power tightly packed? |
Lets just say the grains are all poured into a glass jar, for shits and giggles. | I'd feel safe at 300+ feet, whatever you're trying take a video of it ;) |
Ran out of foil. | And so we did... so many times... |
How dangerous is your job ranging from completely safe, to I could die any minute. | Hmmm... It is relatively dangerous, you are handling live explosives and one accident could be fatal, lasy night we had a hand lit show and a shell detonated within two feet of a guy, thank god he was safe. He was in shock for the rest of the night |
Wild* If he was talking about this party. iPhone app won't let edit last message either. | Go look it up on youtube, just type in firework disaster and filter it to "uploaded today" I'm sure it will come up, last I checked 20 people were injured |
That had to be traumatic! Thank you for a quick reply! | No problem! |
Wow what a cool job to have. Your lucky I love fireworks | Yeah it's pretty cool but honestly the amount of work you do sucks! especially in this heat. I work from 5am-1am back to back on July 3rd and 4th in 110F+ weather :/ |
Please tell me you wear ear protection. | If I'm hand lighting I do |
