Hi pass filters are always helpful, especially when an open vocal mic for an announcer or singer is used during the fireworks. With the newer digital limiting the attack time is often fast enough and has some "look ahead" for a few samples to catch things before a problem happens, not so with analog or no limiting somewhere before the output stage of the power amplifiers. It really depends on the system. The percussive sound wave coming from fireworks displays can send an amp into clipping before it is caught by a limiter.
