New Year's Eve fireworks: Security first - rules for carefree celebrations!

The city of Salzgitter has decided to allow the burning of New Year's fireworks to burn on two days this year, specifically on December 31 and January. However, this event takes place under certain safety precautions. Near important places such as churches, hospitals as well as children's and old people's homes, the burning of pyrotechnic objects is strictly prohibited. As the city administration explained in a message, the safety distance includes 200 meters for rockets and the specific throw width for other fireworks to ensure the safety of the citizens. This regulation is necessary to avoid accidents and enable a carefree start to the new year, as Salzgitter.de reported.

safety instructions and disposal of fireworks remains

The city appeals to everyone who is relieved of the residues of fireworks created when celebrating. Burned fireworks belong in the residual waste, while the packaging in the yellow sack should be disposed of. This goes hand in hand with a call to the property owners to take care of the cleaning of adjacent sidewalks, to maintain public cleanliness.

In addition to these provisions, it is important to note that burning pyrotechnic objects is only permitted under certain conditions. In particular, only people who have reached the age of 18 are permitted to burn off the fireworks of category 2 on New Year's and New Year's Day. Applications must also be submitted to the competent authority before burning down, especially if there are fireworks near railway systems or the like, as from the requirements of the Laws on the Internet . These regulations should not only ensure the security of the celebrations, but also those of the general public.
