SpaceX can't test fire its Falcon Heavy rocket due...
I would imagine the launch requires the participation of civil servants from NASA who I assume all the range safety people work for and I assume they use the coast guard to keep boats away from the danger zone two.

The static fire would have to go very wrong to encounter boats.

Part of the job of the launch facility is to keep people safe even when things go very wrong, which happens fairly often with rockets.
