Good to see the big red fire extinguisher within easy reach of the pilot. A most effective use of fireworks to produce a good visual night time display. I have seen this done from fixed wing aircraft but interesting to see how well it translates to helicopters.

That helicopter display video is peacefully reminiscent of one of the many effective helicopter scenes from the Apocalypse Now film, without the Ride of the Valkyries soundtrack.
