Fireworks ban
According to Section 38 (1) of the Pyrotechnics Act, the use of pyrotechnic articles from category F2 (small fireworks) onwards is prohibited in
the local area. No exemptions from the Pyrotechnics Act have been granted to date, and there are no plans to grant any exemptions.
Fireworks in the local area (i.e., in the municipal area “within the town signs”) are therefore prohibited.
Fireworks in category F2 include, for example: battery fireworks, double bangers, flash bangers, firecrackers, crackers, jumping wheels, baby rockets, volcano fountains, rising swirls, and ladycrackers.
There are many reasons against lighting or purchasing fireworks of any kind,
e.g.: Risk of injury from fireworks debris, especially for children and animals.
Animals are panicked, especially our dogs and cats, which are very sensitive to noise; in wild birds, this shock can even lead to death.
Pollution of soil and water with heavy metals Significantly increased particulate matter pollution
Tons of additional waste Increased risk of forest fires
Often problematic origin and manufacturing methods of fireworks
Risk of injury when setting off fireworks
Regardless of the legal situation outlined above, we appeal to you to refrain from using any kind of fireworks for the reasons stated.
Watching a few minutes of fireworks is in no way proportional to the far-reaching negative effects
on humans, animals, and the environment.
