Adrian Nacey: Fire and Emergency NZ Community Safety Manager on the call to ban public fireworks sales
Manage episode 517770520 series 2098280
A Fire and Emergency manager believes public fireworks sales should be banned as Guy Fawkes looms.
It's currently restricted to just four days a year, this year from November 2nd until Guy Fawkes.
It's one of the busiest periods of the year for firefighters, who had about 20 fireworks-related callouts in the 48 hours since sales began.
Community Safety Manager Adrian Nacey told Andrew Dickens they get between 150 and 200 fireworks related calls each year, and they’re not all necessarily caused by recklessness.
He says little things like wind can cause issues, so they’d prefer fireworks were kept in the hands of professionals.
