What should be done with dwellings, buildings, and structures during a fireworks display?

During a fireworks display, the proper handling of dwellings, buildings, and structures is addressed in NFPA 1123 to ensure safety while still accommodating certain circumstances. The correct choice highlights that with proper approval, these structures may be located within the display site. This allowance is based on specific safety evaluations and measures, including adequate distance guidelines, structural integrity assessments, and emergency preparedness plans.

By permitting structures within the display site with proper approval, the code recognizes that there can be scenarios where buildings are situated in close proximity to the fireworks display area, as long as safety protocols are enforced. This may include ensuring that these structures are well-protected and that there’s a clear plan in case of an emergency.

Other options suggest either complete evacuation or outright prohibition of structures near the display site, which may not be feasible or necessary in every situation. Monitoring the area could potentially compromise the buffer zones established for safety, as it does not address the primary concern of maintaining adequate distances between the fireworks and any structures. Thus, the ability to approve structures within the display site, under strict conditions, aligns with the NFPA's goal to balance safety with community participation in fireworks events.
