00:00The Department of Health continues to support the absolute ban of fireworks in the country.

00:05While there is no such order yet, the local governments will decide

00:09where the designated community firecrackers or fireworks display zone can be set off.

00:15J.P. Soriano has the first news.

00:21A part of the body was cut off,

00:24or maybe it was blown up,

00:26but what's more dangerous is that it can lead to death.

00:29In the 2024 earthquake, for example,

00:32two people died after a firecracker exploded

00:36after a man smoked a cigarette while drinking.

00:41More than 600 people were injured in the firecrackers,

00:44according to the DOH during the 2024 earthquake.

00:50These scenarios are avoided as much as possible whenever the new year is approaching.

00:56That's why in Vasra, Quezon City,

01:05the barangay officials are now going around to remind their barangay

01:10the designated community firecrackers or fireworks display zone

01:14if it will be set off and lit.

01:19Do not set off firecrackers in houses, especially on terraces.

01:22In December of last year, the Quezon City passed an ordinance

01:26that it is prohibited to set off firecrackers in public places,

01:29even outside or in front of the house.

01:32In Vasra Barangay, in this mini park, it is allowed to set off firecrackers.

01:36Before the DPOS approves a designated area,

01:40it must comply with the safety requirements of the fire code,

01:44such as having a large space and no adjacent fire hazard structures.

01:50It is only legal or designated firecrackers or fireworks

01:54that can be set off on December 31.

01:57Ian says it is supported,

01:59that it is now traditional to set off firecrackers whenever the new year is approaching.

02:04Just feel it, all the firecrackers are in the middle

02:08so that we can avoid the fire.

02:12Because unlike the previous new year, it is really everywhere.

02:17But caution is still needed,

02:20because accidents cannot be avoided.

02:24Just like what happened in Oroquieta City in Misamis Occidental this December,

02:29when instead of going up, the fireworks went to the spectators.

02:34The lights were dimmed because of the strong wind.

02:38No one was injured in the incident.

02:41The health department continues to impose an absolute ban on firecrackers,

02:46but as long as there is no law regarding this.

02:49We should be strict with the community enforcement

02:52that we should not set off firecrackers at home,

02:55only in designated areas.

02:57This is the first news,

02:59JP Soriano for GMA Integrated News.
