In fireworks displays, which area is NOT considered part of the display site?

The spectator viewing area is not considered part of the display site in the context of fireworks displays as outlined by NFPA 1123. The display site is defined as the physical space required for the setup and execution of the fireworks performance, which includes areas that are directly involved in the discharge of fireworks and the safety zones around them.

The discharge site, fallout area, and the designated separation distances are crucial parts of the overall display site. The discharge site is where the fireworks are launched, and the fallout area is where the debris from the fireworks may land. The separation distance is an essential safety requirement that protects spectators and property from the risks associated with the fireworks.

In contrast, the spectator viewing area is intentionally located away from these operational areas to ensure safety. This area is meant for the audience to enjoy the fireworks display while maintaining a safe distance from potential hazards associated with the discharge and fallout of the fireworks. By distinguishing the spectator area from the display site, safety measures can be effectively enforced, thus protecting the audience during the event.
