Definition
The firing plan is the show's reference document: the exhaustive list of fireworks fired, each with its reference, calibre, quantity, category, position on site (line, rack, tube), firing cue (module and output), trigger time and angle. It serves at once as the bill of materials for preparing stock, the rigging sheet for the crew, the program for the firing system and supporting evidence for the prefecture declaration and the insurer. A professional firing plan also gives net explosive totals per category and the resulting safety distance. It is drawn up before ordering, adjusted after the site survey, frozen before the show, then kept with the file as a record of what was fired.
In practice, for the display company
The firing plan is the heart of PyroDesk: built by drag and drop from stock, it reserves products, assigns racks and cues, computes explosive content and distances, replays in PyroSimulator and feeds the declaration form, the quote, the rigging sheet and the subcontractor portal in one click. Change one shell and everything else updates.
