Fireworks

For fireworks displays conducted on state-owned property or within state-owned buildings, permits must be obtained through the State Fire Marshal’s Office. University departments must contact the EH&S Office to coordinate site location.  External organizations shall contact their William & 玛丽 sponsor for approval to host a fireworks display on campus. In both cases, the pyrotechnicians must complete and submit the Virginia State Fire Marshal’s Office Fireworks Application.
