What governs the use of pyrotechnics in specific RTAs?

The use of pyrotechnics in specific Real Training Areas (RTAs) is governed primarily by fire conditions. This is because fire safety is a critical concern when dealing with pyrotechnic devices, which can pose significant risks of igniting wildfires or causing other fire-related hazards. Fire conditions take into account factors such as current weather conditions, moisture levels in vegetation, and recent rainfall, all of which help determine whether it is safe to use pyrotechnics in a particular area.

If fire conditions are deemed too risky, the use of pyrotechnics would be restricted or prohibited to ensure the safety of personnel and the protection of the environment. Other considerations, like safety protocols, operational guidelines, and environmental regulations, may influence the decision-making process but are ultimately secondary to the prevailing fire conditions that dictate immediate risk factors and necessary precautions.
