The application shall be filed with the fire commissioner, and shall include the following information: (1) the written consent of the alderman of the affected ward; (2) the written consent of the owner of the property where the applicant proposes to give the display; (3) proof that the applicant is in compliance with all provisions of the Illinois Pyrotechnic Operator Licensing Act, as amended; (4) proof that the applicant is in compliance with the Illinois Fireworks Use Act, as amended; and (5) proof of commercial general liability insurance, in an amount not less than $1,000,000.00 per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury and property damage, issued by an insurer authorized to insure in Illinois. The City of Chicago and its officers and employees shall be named as additional insured on a primary, noncontributory basis for any liability arising directly or indirectly from the permittee's operations. The insurance policy shall provide for notice to the fire commissioner no less than 72 hours prior to cancellation or lapse of coverage.
