Fireworks and firecrackers
Emergency Management Department:
Actively guide local governments to avoid
A "one size fits all" comprehensive ban on fireworks and firecrackers
According to the website of the Emergency Management Department on January 30th, the Emergency Management Department replied to the proposal made by Pang Guoming, a representative of the 14th National People’s Congress, on revising and improving the regulations on the safety management of fireworks and firecrackers, saying that over the years, the Emergency Management Department and relevant departments have actively guided local governments to formulate local policies on the prohibition and restriction of fireworks and firecrackers according to local conditions and laws, so as to avoid a "one-size-fits-all" comprehensive (all-region, all-time) ban on fireworks and firecrackers and meet people’s needs for folk culture and their yearning for a better life.
In view of the new situation and new problems such as the adjustment of the policy of banning and restricting the release of fireworks and firecrackers in various places during the Spring Festival of 2023, the Emergency Management Department, together with the Ministry of Public Security and the General Administration of Market Supervision, formed a supervision team to go to Tianjin, Hebei, the main producing area, Hunan and other three provinces (cities) to carry out unannounced visits to the safety production of fireworks and firecrackers to ensure a stable safety situation of fireworks and firecrackers during the Spring Festival.
