Fireworks Display 8:00
October 11. 2026 or (Rain Date) October 12, 2026
Attached please find a signed statement from the American Thunder Fireworks, Inc. which
provides information requested by this commission regarding product information,
pollution control and safety measures taken by them.
In addition to their plan:
The Yarmouth Fire Department traditionally escorts the fireworks to the beach area and
remains on site throughout the display and entire cleanup by the fireworks company. They
also return at first light which will be 6:50 a.m. to do another safety check of the area and
check for debris.
The tides are with us this year so additional landscaping crews will not be needed to help
with the cleanup of the beach. The Yarmouth Rotarywitl once again be volunteering to
manually do a thorough search and clean-up of any fireworks debris on either Monday the
121h or the rain date of Tuesday the 13th.
The tides for these
dates at Sea Gull Beach are as follows:
Oct. 11— Low tide at and 12:35 p.m. with High tide at 7:00 p.m.
Oct. 12 — Low tide at 1:20 p.m. and High tide at 7:45 p.m.
Oct. 13 — High tide at 8:15 a.m. and Low tide is at 2:05 p.m.
The Yarmouth Seaside Committee is responsible for all firework debris cleanup and will
have one member and myself do a final inspection of the beach area after the cleanup is
complete.

Re: Fireworks Display Cleanup
Dear Ms. Butler,
Please see below plan related to the cleanup and pollution control for your proposed fireworks
display to be launched at 8pm on October 11th 2026 (rain date October 12th, 2026) as part of the
Yarmouth Seaside Festival celebration.
• Product Type
o Traditional ball-type shell
• Prevention of Plastic Debris
o As an additional control measure, American Thunder Fireworks, Inc. (ATFi) will manually
remove any factory installed plastic, to the best of our ability
• Debris Removal
o During performance of the shell, the chemical components (e.g. black powder &
oxidizer) are depleted and there are no remaining components to degrade or clean up
o Debris present will be majority biodegradable cardboard and/or paper along with the
possibility of small pieces of water-repellent coated paper fuses
o ATFi will remove any large visible debris and rake the area directly following the display
and again at our “first light” safety check at dawn
• Additional Concerns:
o We would like to clarify that the only metal present during our displays are the screws
used to build our fireworks racks. We will caution our crew to be diligent as to not drop
any screws when building and breaking down. We also do not utilize any foil
components in this display, and there are no cakes, which often have a foil covering,
included in this display.
As part of the cleanup process, the Sponsor has enlisted the help of volunteers to assist in a thorough
cleanup on the day following the display, after high tide. High tide for the 10/12/2026 is approximately
12:39am. As a reminder, our contract stipulates “The Sponsor agrees to procure and furnish the
following: a suitable location for the display, all necessary police detail(s), fire detail(s), sponsors
protection, snow fencing for proper crowd control, vehicle parking, and proper clearing of debris
following the display.” However, ATFi has voluntarily agreed to assist in the cleanup process.
If you have any further questions or would like additional information, please feel free to reach out.
Best Regards,
Warren R. Pearce Jr.
President
