ITEM SUMMARY:
At the last City Council meeting, there was a request to inquire about costs associated with a fireworks
display for Fourth of July 2022. The company that the City of West Chicago uses for summer fireworks,
Five Alarm Fireworks, was contacted and City Staff was provided with an estimate of $30,000 for a 30-
minute display. The cost of a fireworks display the week after the Fourth of July would cost in the $15,000
range. City Staff was told that costs of fireworks nationwide would likely be going up next year or display
time would be dropping, or both. This year’s fireworks display sponsored by the City at the Park District
on August 14, was cut from a 30-minute display to a 25-minute display due to rising costs. The cost of the
fireworks display on August 14 is $15,000.
ACTIONS PROPOSED:
Public Affairs Committee members to review.

If you need a complete, worry free, turn-key fireworks production, Five Alarm Pyrotechnics, Co. can fill
your needs. We will custom design your show, conduct a comprehensive site survey, furnish all fireworks
materials and product delivery, provide a team of qualified pyrotechnicians to coordinate and execute your
fireworks program from set-up to clean-up, follow through on all required fireworks and program
permitting, provide $5,000,000 liability insurance to cover the Sponsor, the Public, Property Owner, Other
Participants, and ourselves, and provide you the option of creating a pyromusical program or a complete
sound reinforcement package. Our staff will conduct a post-display follow-up to insure all of your
pyrotechnic demands have been met.
WHAT FIREWORKS COST
Listed below are estimates for typical fireworks programs.
Community and Town Celebrations off Date: Comprising of the majority of Small Town USA and
Community Celebrations, these fireworks displays normally last from 5 to 15 minutes with a typical budget
of $5,500.00 to $15, 000.00 Displays are scripted and fired electronically with an analog firing system.
Main Events July 3-4 Labor Day: Minimum 15min @ $1,000 per minute. Main Event shows typically cost
in the $15,000 to $30,000 range. A large 4th of July show is a good example of a Main Event. Displays are
scripted and fired electronically with a digital firing system.
Firework Pyromusicals: Minimum 15min @ $1,500 per minute. Shows typically exceed $26,000. These
major fireworks events are quite spectacular and memorable. Firework Pyromusicals are usually computer
fired from multiple locations, choreographed to music, and involve large numbers of fireworks.
Special Events: You can use fireworks in Special Events to enhance excitement, and thus increase
attendance. Sports industries and corporate events frequently tie-in firework displays into their venues as a
successful marketing tool to increase both crowd attendance and team sponsorships.
Other variables that can affect the cost of your fireworks program include permit fees, travel distance, audio
equipment, emergency support services, utilization of special rigging and support equipment, barge fees for
lake or river displays, etc. Five Alarm Pyrotechnics, Co has extensive training in dealing with all variables
of “turn-key” firework programs. Please contact us if you have any questions regarding your fireworks
show costs or if you need technical assistance for your next firework display.

Offficer Activities
On June 9"", Officers Schoonhoven, Moore and Richards responded to a call of an overdose in the 300
block of E. National St. Upon arrival, officers administered two doses of Narcan to the victim. West
Chicago Fire Protection District personnel arrived, assumed care of the patient and transported him to
Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage Hospital for further treatment.
On June 10", Officers responded to the area of Joliet St and Geneva St for a report of shots fired.
Broken glass and shell casings were located in the 100 block of E. Geneva St. Witnesses reported
seeing a white vehicle with a black vinyl top leave the scene at a high rate of speed. The vehicle was
located in Wheaton; the owner was interviewed and he provided information on a suspect. Detectives
located the suspect at his West Chicago residence and transported him to the Station, where he was
interviewed by Detectives Peterson and Herbert. The suspect admitted to the shooting and was charged
with Aggravated Discharge of a Firearm into an Occupied Vehicle. As the offender was a juvenile, he
was transported to the Kane County Juvenile Justice Center to await a court hearing.
On June 6", Officers met with a juvenile victim, who alleged she had been forced into a vehicle by her
23-year old ex-boyfriend. Despite her pleas to be let out of the car, the suspect refused to do so. The
suspect then drove the victim to Bellwood, IL, where he purchased illicit drugs. The suspect returned
to West Chicago and finally allowed the victim to exit the car, at which time she reported the incident
to Police. The suspect was located a short time later and interviewed by Detectives Peterson and
Herbert at the Station. During the interview, the suspect admitted to engaging in sexual relations with
the victim during the course of their relationship. The DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office
approved charges of Possession of a Controlled Substance and Unlawful Restraint against the offender.
The suspect was transported to the DuPage County Jail to await a bond hearing. Additional charges
are pending.
On June 21°, Officers Sauseda, Rigler and Hunt responded to the 600 block of Hickory Ln. for a
reported burglary from motor vehicle in progress. The caller provided a description of the offender and
his vehicle. Officers located the vehicle unattended and running. Numerous items were observed inside
the vehicle, including a pile of loose change, a lawn mower, a cell phone and guitar. A subject fitting
the description of the suspect was located, detained and transported to the Station, where he was
interviewed by Detective Peterson. None of the items located in the suspect’s vehicle were determined
to have been taken from victims in the City of West Chicago. Detectives utilized Facebook in an effort
to identify the owners of the recovered stolen property. Eventually, the property was determined to
have been stolen from locations in St. Charles, IL. St. Charles Police were able to provide video of
the suspect in their cases, who was wearing clothing that matched that being worn by the subject in the
West Chicago case. St. Charles Police Detectives took custody of the suspect and eventually charged
him with Residential Burglary.
