(A) (1) The Chief of the Fire Department shall have power to adopt reasonable rules and regulations for the granting of permits for supervised public displays of fireworks by organizations authorized by the City Council. Every such display shall be handled by a competent operator approved by the Chief of Police and the Chief of the Fire Department, and shall be of such a character, and so located, discharged or fired, as in the opinion of the Chief of the Fire Department or his or her authorized agent, after proper inspection so that it will not be hazardous to property or endanger any person.
(2) Applications for permits shall be made in writing at least 21 days in advance of that date of the display. After such privilege shall have been granted, sale, possession, use and distribution of fireworks for such display shall be lawful for that purpose only. No permit granted hereunder shall be transferable.
