Restrict the sale of fireworks and firecrackers

With the rapid development of urban construction in our city, the density and height of urban buildings and the density of residential population have increased rapidly. Fireworks and firecrackers can easily cause accidents, resulting in public safety, personal and property safety and damage to the urban environment.

Although our city issued the normative document "Measures for the Safety Management of Fireworks and Firecrackers in Wenzhou City" in 2006, there are still some problems, such as the low effectiveness of management basis and the lack of source control basis such as prohibiting sales. Safety accidents caused by fireworks and firecrackers also occur from time to time. It is urgent to further clarify the areas where fireworks and firecrackers are prohibited from burning and selling, standardize the sales and discharge behavior of fireworks and firecrackers, carry out accurate management of fireworks and firecrackers, and solve the difficult problems such as source management of fireworks and firecrackers.
