RS Fireworks approached us at the beginning of this year and wanted to offer our committee a bid for our fireworks display. They came in with a very competitive bid that thrilled our committee. We were hoping that our fireworks would be the finale to a week of events that were part of the Town of Braintree celebrating it's 375th anniversary. Christina and her team were very attentive to our requests and details to what type of show we were looking for. They worked closely with town officials from our fire and recreation departments. We were in constant contact with their shoot team starting the Friday before the show as we were dealing with some weather factors. Needles to say the display was spectacular and thrilled the crowd. It was our largest and longest fireworks display in our 42 year history as a committee. The best and most important part was that it worked with in our budget! We could not have asked for anything more.
This past year we went with RS Fireworks and we received more positive comments about the fireworks than I had since I began here. I had a guy come into the department and said I have lived in this community for 45 years and that was by far the best display we have ever had.

From start to finish, It was great to work with RS Fireworks! There staff was great at communication as well as timely for set up. The show wowed the crowd! Couldn't have been happier with the results. I would use them again!
Entertaining race fans during major events is our primary goal at New England Dragway. RS Fireworks understands this and consistently delivers the "Wow" factor. Thanks to their professionalism and dedication every fan eagerly anticipates the next major event. RS Fireworks continues to be our only choice for pyrotechnic displays.
Definitely a 5 star rating, great people, super great show, looking forward to next years extravaganza of explosions, our office has received several positive compliments for having RS Fireworks do our shows, their shows never disappoint.
The foundation of RS Fireworks was a desire to create a different pyrotechnic experience; one that would have the people leaving the show with a giddy, warm, happy feeling. In order to accomplish this task we needed to seek out a new style of shells – a style that would give dazzling colors, larger breaks and longer burning ratios. Hence, we viewed countless displays and production demonstrations finding a supplier that would allow us to achieve our goals. We received exclusive rights to shells from Spain, Italy, Japan, China, as well as America.
We shoot most shows electronically with computer driven automated firing systems, allowing our display technicians to maintain a distance of 100 feet from the shells. Computer automation also allows us to individually choreograph each show with a custom theme for your event. Synchronizing the display to music can be an option. It also allows us to fire from multiple locations and shoot multiple layers into the sky concurrently; these effects are known as flights and scenes. Our goal is that with our special shells, shooting systems and attention to detail, we will exceed your expectations and help to make your occasion a night to remember.
Shawn Connors and Rob Lavoie developed their friendship while playing AAA Youth Hockey in grade school. This friendship continued through High School, where they began to shoot small class C fireworks shows for families and friend. After 9-11, Shawn joined the Army. Before he left for Iraq, they made plans to start a fireworks company upon Shawn’s return. When Shawn left for tank training, Rob continued to run his family business.
During this time, Rob also did research on class B fireworks. Additionally he joined groups such as Pyrotechnics Guild International (the primary trade organization in the United States for fireworks) and the New Hampshire Pyrotechnic Association. The later is an organization for fireworks enthusiasts that ignite fireworks at club events and teach members about the industry.
After nine months in Iraq, Shawn was sent home with a medical discharge and a purple heart. After a short recovery, Shawn moved his family back to NH where the two formed RS Fireworks. They went through months of training and research before deciding on the type of shows they wanted to present. With Rob handing the technical side, and Shawn the business end, these partners have created an incredibly balanced team. They were recently asked to clarify what makes them different from their competition? They replied, “We want to bring to fireworks, the same excitement that Ben and Jerry’s brings to ice cream.”
