When should the Fallout area be inspected after a fireworks show?

The inspection of the Fallout area after a fireworks show should be conducted at first light. This timing is crucial because it allows for a thorough assessment of any potential hazards that may have been created during the event, such as unexploded fireworks or smoldering debris. Conducting the inspection at first light ensures that the area can be safely evaluated when visibility is improved, allowing inspectors to effectively identify any risks that could pose a danger to public safety or property.

Inspecting immediately after the show may not provide a comprehensive evaluation if there are still active flames or smoke obscuring visibility. While waiting one hour might seem reasonable, it may not guarantee that all risks are addressed, particularly if any remnants from the fireworks have the potential to reignite. Similarly, inspecting at sunset could lead to reduced visibility, complicating the identification of any hazards. Therefore, choosing to conduct the inspection at first light balances safety and the need for a thorough review of the Fallout area.
