Can I buy professional grade fireworks?

Short answer: NO. Unless you are a licensed supervisor by the industry of Natural Resources and have a signed "Application to Purchase" from the local Fire Department.

Let the professionals take care of the dangerous stuff.

But if you are interested in joining the fantastic world of fireworks, take the mandatory course which is offered twice a year. It's a one day course offered in the spring and fall. Check out the Explosives Regulatory Division website for upcoming courses.

If I'm hosting a fireworks display, do I need to get a permit?

Yes a permit is required by the local Fire Department, but this is our job to obtain it. Firemaster Productions will send a licensed supervisor to visit the proposed site and get the required detailed measurements. In addition the supervisor will meet with your to discuss your vision of the display.

We will give you a copy of the permit on the night of the display.

Are you insured?

Absolutely. We have $5 million liability insurance with zero claims to date. We can add you and any other third party to the policy for your display. We will give you a copy of the certificate on the night of the display.

How much does a fireworks display cost?

Probably the number one question we get asked the most. The answer is not a simple number. There are so many factors that will determine the cost of display. How long do you want the show to last? For what type of function are you inquiring about? When is the date?

These questions will help us determine a cost that will ensure you are receiving a quality display.

We will advise you that a 15 minute display on Canada Day for 10,000 people should cost more than a five minute display for a private party for 75 people.

Our prices start at $1500+GST for a five minute professional display.

How long should my fireworks display last?

Depending on the day, venue and event this can range from 2 minutes to 20 minutes.

A New Years Eve display is usual about 2-5 minutes. A Canada Day display will be 12-20 minutes.

A wedding display should be between 3-5 minutes maximum.

We will recommend a good duration for the display and work with you to ensure you are getting the fireworks display you want.

How much space do I need to have a fireworks display?

New changes to the guidelines set by the Explosives Regulatory Division have made a professional display more flexible. To have a respectable display, we suggest a minimum separation distance of 75m to the spectators and 95m for fallout. This should include a good line of site to see the fireworks.

Other options include a low level display using products that obtain a maximum height of 30m. For this type of display we suggest a separation distance of 30m to the spectators and the same for fallout.
