Here are the new rules for fireworks
During New Year's Eve, many people shoot rockets to celebrate the New Year, but keep in mind that you are not allowed to shoot rockets with a so-called control stick, unless you have applied for a permit or have the right education.
Since June 1, 2019, rocket-propelled rockets are no longer allowed to operate without permission and training. Anyone who violates this can be sentenced to a fine or imprisonment for up to three years.
For those who want to celebrate New Year with pyrotechnics, there are still other products that can be used without permission or education.
This is partly about simpler products such as sparklers and earth spins - but also Bengali fires and fireworks cakes that stand upright and do not need to be anchored.
The new regulations cover all use of rocket-propelled rockets, regardless of when they are purchased. The police will carry out checks against persons suspected of violating this.
Permits for the use of explosive products are sought from the municipality, and in addition, a B or C education is required from a training provider approved by MSB.
