WELCOME!

Have you ever wanted to know how fireworks work?  Want to know how to put on your own neighborhood display using consumer fireworks?  Then you've come to the right place! 

This site will show you everything you need to know to put on a great neighborhood display for the 4th of July or any other occasion.  See pictures of fireworks display setups, learn how to make your own fuse, build your own electrical firing system, any much more!  Since all of this deals with consumer fireworks, no permits or licenses are necessary! 

THIS SITE IS CURRENTLY BEING REDESIGNED
Right now I'm trying to fix the bug of "http://www.pyrouniverse.com" being displayed on EVERY portion of this page.  I'm also redesigning the layout of this site so it looks better and is easy to navigate.  These changes will probably take several weeks due the the unimaginably slow speed of my computer and internet connection.
