A flame effect is the combustion of flammable solids, liquids, or gases to produce thermal, physical, visual, or audible pehnomena before an audience. Any use of flame effects requires a permit from PFA. 

  • PFA requires a minimum of 72 hours to process flame effect permit applications. 
  • PFA's Community Safety & Services Division may conduct an onsite inspection and/or request a demonstration of the flame effect(s) to determine safety requirements for the effect(s). 
  • Any permit issued must be kept onsite during the performance.
  • If PFA issues a permit for the flame effect, our agency will communicate to the applicant any specific safety guidelines. These may include: 
    • Needed safety standby personnel, including the potential for a uniformed fire watch during the performance.
    • The number, size and location of fire extinguishers at the site of the flame effect(s). 
    • Specific emergency response guidelines. 
    • The need for flame-retardant application for costumes or sets. 
    • Specific lighting procedures.

Please fill out the following application. PFA personnel will review it, and we will be in contact as soon as possible.
