Groupe Fiatlux-Ampleman loves blowing stuff up. In fact, the Montreal-based team of pyrotechnicians are determined to become the best pyro company in the world. And they could very well be on the road to becoming the most famous, thanks in part to the Discovery Channel, who is about to launch a Canadian eight-part behind-the-scenes series about the adrenalin junkies who travel the world creating some of the world’s most dazzling displays of fireworks. The show, Pyros, premiers on April 24 at 8:00 p.m. Take a look below at the thrill-seekers at work, lighting up night skies.
