Safe Storage for Pyrotechnics Starts Here
Pyrotechnics bring energy to live events, immersive experiences, film sets, and tactical training—but storing them improperly can ignite serious risks. Whether you’re managing flame effects at a concert, aerial shells for a stadium show, or binary targets for a simulation range, safe storage isn’t optional—it’s essential.

Why It Matters
Pyrotechnic materials are classified by the ATF as explosives. That means:
- Fire and explosion risks increase dramatically without proper containment.
- ATF, NFPA, and local codes require compliant magazine storage.
- Injury, property loss, and event shutdowns are real-world consequences.
