RE: 2020 Fireworks Display
To Whom It May Concern,
This letter is being sent to you as a courtesy and at the request of the City of Dubuque Police and Fire
Departments. The Annual Dubuque Jaycees/Radio Dubuque Fireworks will be held on August 22"d at
approximately 8:45 pm. The "Fire Site" will be in its usual location on the levee, near the utility building.
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends that an area 300 to 800 feet around the fire site be
designated as a safety zone in which NO people should be allowed. Your business is either in or close to this zone.
Realizing that we cannot keep you, your employees, or your guests from your property, we feel an obligation to
inform you of the NFPA recommended safety zone.
As in the past, we do not expect any problems at this year's event. We do however ask that you exhibit caution
when on your premises and to keep patrons from wandering through the safety zone.Any persons or personal
possessions on your property during the fireworks disp/ay other than permanent structures are your
responsibility and every action shou/d be taken to protect persons and property from potential fallout damage.
The Dubuque laycees/Radio Dubuque and the other sponsors of this fireworks display assume no responsibility for
said preventable damage.
In addition, the City of Dubuque Fire Department will have zero tolerance for personal fireworks in and around the
event area. Police, Fire Department, and Security personnel will confiscate any fireworks they find. We appreciate
the support you have given us in the past and we know that we can count on your support in the future.
There will also be a zero tolerance for persons who tamper with the snow fence,the caution tape, or move
barricades that are in place to protect the fire zone. That is a "permit area" and it will be considered trespassing.
If you have any questions regarding this letter or anything else in regard to the Dubuque Jaycees/Radio Dubuque
Fireworks, please contact me at 563-590-6133. Be sure to leave a message if necessary. We hope to see you there
on July 3`d. Please enjoy!
