Do you have the National Geographic Field Guide? If you do check pages 260-261. If not let us know and I can provide the relevant information - they make several good suggestions.
As to your question itself, they suggest 400 speed be exposed for 1/30 second at f/16 for a single burst. If you will be scanning the film, my suggestion would be to limit the speed to 400 - don't forget the night sky surrounding the fireworks, which will probably scan with much grain (and colored grain at that) with 800 film.
