In a fireworks display, what does the fallout area refer to?

The fallout area refers specifically to the location on the ground where debris from fireworks, such as spent shells and unburned materials, may land after the display. Understanding the fallout area is crucial for safety planning because it helps ensure that spectators are kept at a safe distance from potential falling debris, which can pose hazards. Proper assessment and management of the fallout area are essential for compliance with NFPA 1123 standards and to minimize the risk of injury or damage during and after the fireworks show. Spectators need to be appropriately positioned outside of this area to ensure their safety throughout the event.
