I want to set off some consumer grade fireworks on the 4th, and do it legally. So, I got a permit application from my local fire chief. On the application, it says I need to provide proof of $200,000 liability insurance. Where would I get this!? I'm guessing I need a secondary policy (in addition to my home owners insurance)? Thoughts? |

Well, my county (who issues the permit) told me to bring it over & I can pick up a permit on the spot. They seem to be ok w/ fireworks providing you get a permit - they then notify the sheriff's office & the fire department so they leave you alone... I guess I'll just ignore the .gov again this year. I just don't know where to get the freakin insurance! Wonder how much liability insurance my homeowners provides? |
| Class C fireworks. Anything that leaves the ground is not legal in VA. I buy stuff in PA every year & set it off illegally. Well, this year - I decided to get a permit for a "fireworks show". But, it seems I need insurance for the "show". This is on my own property, with no invited guests. |

Idaho wont even allow permits, I think they should. I have been doing the same as you, buying a ton on illegals and then having a great 4th!! The fine in my area for lighting them off is only 100$ so it's cheap, I'm sure the rpocess your going through will cost you more then 100$, the 200k ins would prob cost 400-500$..... How much is the fine in your area?? (may be cheaper just to set aside fine money  )
