3 <br /> *I* FIRE <br /> TOWN OF CHAPEL HILL DEPARTMENT <br /> 302 N. Columbia St., Chapel Hill, N.C. 27516 (919) 968-2781 <br /> f � <br /> DfPRI 0 1 <br /> June 9 , 1993 <br /> Ms. Pam Jones, Director of Purchasing and <br /> Central Services, Orange County <br /> Post Office Box 8181 <br /> Hillsborough, N.C. 27278 <br /> Dear Ms. Jones: <br /> I 'm writing you to request approval of plans for a <br /> community fireworks display to be held at Kenan Stadium on <br /> July 4, 1993 with a rain date of July 5 . Enclosed are copies <br /> of the permit application, fire protection and safety plan, <br /> site plan for the display, liability insurance certificate, <br /> shooter's information, ATF license, display contract and the <br /> permit issued by our department. <br /> The fireworks will begin at 9: 30 pm. The display will be <br /> almost identical to last year's except that additional <br /> fireworks will be used during the main and grand finale parts <br /> of the program. The primary viewing area will be on the <br /> north side of the stadium with additional seating available <br /> in the west end zone area. <br /> The fire protection and safety plan for this year is <br /> very similar to last year's. The launching area will again <br /> be in the Ramshead parking lot with the Ehringhaus practice <br /> field as the fallout area (please see the attached site <br /> plan) . The only major operational chance is that access to <br /> the Ramshead parking lot at the conclusion of the show will <br /> be restricted until the Chapel Hill Fire Marshal has declared <br /> the area safe. <br /> The Fire Department will have personnel in the stadium <br /> watching for any problems, and fire extinguishers will be on <br /> hand. Once again we will stress that sparklers or other <br /> fireworks are not to be brought to the event. <br /> We appreciate your assistance and look forward to another <br /> safe and successful July 4th celebration. If you have any <br /> questions or concerns, please contact either Chief Jones or <br /> me at 968-2781 or Chapel Hill Parks and Recreation Event <br /> Coordinator Bill Webster at 968-2784 . <br /> Sincerely, <br /> .H. Robertson, Jr. <br /> Deputy Chief/Fire <br /> Marshal <br /> CC: Mike Tapp, Orange County Fire Marshal <br /> Public Education • Incident Prevention • Emergency Response Services <br />
