Every use of display fireworks within the limits of the Township
shall be handled by a competent operator, and which display shall
be of such character and so located, discharged, or fired as, in the
opinion of the Fire Chief, after proper inspection, shall not be hazardous
to property or endanger any person or persons.
Display fireworks may only be used within the Township upon
application and grant of a permit by the Township to a competent operator.
Any permit issued under §
71-5 shall not be transferable.
A permittee or licensee shall carry insurance in an amount deemed
appropriate by the Board, but will not be in a sum less than $2,000,000,
conditioned for the payment of all damages caused to any person or
persons, and to any property, by reason of the licensed display, and
arising from any acts of the licensee, his or its agents, employees,
or subcontractors.
If, by reason of unfavorable weather or an existing burn ban,
the display for which a permit has been granted does not take place
at the time so authorized, the person to whom such permit was issued
may, within 24 hours, apply to the Township, setting forth under oath
the fact that such display was not made, giving the reason therefor,
and requesting a continuance of such permit for a day designated therein,
not later than one week after the day fixed originally in said permit.
Upon receiving such application for a continuance, the Township, if
it believes the facts stated therein are true, shall extend the provisions
of said permit to the day fixed in said application, not later than
one week after the original day designated in the permit, and such
extension of time shall be granted without the payment of any additional
fee and without requiring any bond other than the one given for the
original permit, the provisions of which shall extend to and cover
all damages which may be caused by reason of said display taking place
at such extended date in the same manner and to the same extent as
if such display had taken place at the date originally fixed in the
permit.
All permitted displays of display fireworks must occur between
the hours of 5:00 p.m. and 10:30 p.m., but may be extended from 10:30
p.m. to 12:00 midnight on December 31, from 12:00 midnight to 12:30
a.m. on January 1, and from 10:30 p.m. to 12:00 midnight on July 4.
