Where NOT to let of fireworks this New Year’s Eve
December 28, 2017 By Leave a Comment
The town of Oberursel would like to remind residents that fireworks may not be let of in the town in the following areas:
– near timber-framed houses, or close enough that the firework could land on one
– near houses with thatched-roofs, or close enough that the firework could land on such a roof
– near churches, hospitals, childrens’ homes and homes for the elderly
This is not just a request but governed by laws on the use of explosives and environmental noise control. Anyone setting of a firework that causes a timber-framed house to catch fire faces not only a fine and claims for damages, but also the possibility of a prison sentence.
