Are proximate fireworks regulated by the state of Missouri?
A. Yes, as per RSMo 320.16 (1). Legislation passed in 2004 states that all Indoor and Outdoor proximate displays (theatrical) are regulated by the State Fire Marshal. All Displays shall be inspected and approved by the local fire service jurisdiction or AHJ, if local jurisdiction does not prevail, an application by a licensed operator or licensed proximate operator must be submitted to the Office of the State Fire Marshal. A plan review will be submitted and field personnel will review an inspection of the facility before any permit is issued.
