Calculate minimum safety distances for different fireworks categories based on international standards. Essential for retailers, display companies, and event organizers.
Safety distances are minimums. Factors like wind direction, crowd density, and local fire codes may require larger exclusion zones. Dream Fireworks provides site-specific safety documentation with every professional display order.
