(A) The Fire Chief shall have the power to grant permits for supervised public fireworks displays and pyrotechnic special effects material, and to adopt reasonable rules and regulations for the granting of such permits. Any organization or public entity may apply for a permit for supervised public displays of fireworks and pyrotechnic special effects material. Application for a permit shall be made in writing at least 15 days in advance of the date of display. Before a permit is granted, the operator and the location and handling of the display shall be approved, after investigation by the Fire Chief or his or her designee and a determination has been made that the requested display is of such character and so located, discharged and fired as not to be hazardous to property or endanger any person.
(B) The permit shall be granted only if the Fire Chief finds that the permit application, operator and conditions meet the requirements of the fire code as adopted by the town in Title 10, Chapter 1 of this code, and other reasonable requirements the Fire Chief deems necessary to protect the public welfare.
(C) A permit shall not be transferred or assigned.
(D) If the operations of a permittee require additional town personnel to be assigned to the permitted event in order to protect the public welfare, the permittee shall pay in advance all labor and equipment costs associated with the assignment of such additional personnel.
