For safe fireworks handling, the distance from public access must be at least

• A. 75 feet
• B. 150 feet
• C. 25 feet
• D. 100 feet

Answer: (D)

In safe fireworks handling, you establish a protective perimeter so bystanders are kept far enough away from the launch area to avoid injury from misfires, sparks, or falling debris. For professional displays under the Class B license, the minimum distance the public must be kept from the firing and fallout zone is 100 feet. This distance provides a practical safety buffer based on typical device hazards, while still allowing the show to be set up and viewed safely. Shorter distances such as 75 feet or 25 feet would place spectators at risk, and while 150 feet would certainly be safe, the question asks for the minimum required distance, which is 100 feet. Always verify local rules and adjust the distance if larger or more powerful devices are used.
