Regulations on the use of pyrotechnics: prohibited in San Sebastian and Pamplona, 15-minute leave in Vitoria and call for diligence in Bilbao
The Department of Security of the Basque Government and the municipalities urge citizens to respect the regulations on pyrotechnics and to exercise extreme caution in the use of rockets and firecrackers.
As usual, the new year will begin with the launch of pyrotechnic material (flares, similar firecrackers) in many corners of Euskal Herria.
On the occasion of the New Year's Eve and New Year's Eve celebrations, the Department of Security of the Basque Government and the municipalities urge citizens to respect fireworks regulations and to exercise extreme caution in the use of rockets and firecrackers.
The regulations on the use of pyrotechnic material are different in the capitals of Hego Euskal Herria.
In Donostia-San Sebastián, the use of pyrotechnics on public roads is prohibited and fines are provided for in the event of a breach of the rules. The City Council of the capital of Guipuzcoana also recalls that misuse can cause serious problems.
In Pamplona, article 20 of the Ordinance on the Promotion of Civic Conduct and the Protection of Public Spaces expressly prohibits "the firing of firecrackers, rockets, flares and pyrotechnic materials of any kind that may cause noise or fires without municipal authorization".
In Vitoria-Gasteiz, the City Council wants to combine the New Year's Day celebrations with the Municipal Noise and Vibration Ordinance (which protects people's rest), so it proposes a 15-minute space for the launch of pyrotechnic material, after which the Municipal Police will be able to intervene.
In Bilbaothere is the greatest freedom on this issue. There is no specific regulation on this issue, but these days the City Council recommends not to use pyrotechnics because it can cause fires and endanger the safety of people. It also recalls that the Bilbao Municipal Police carry out a thorough check to prevent the sale of pyrotechnic material both in shops and on the street without authorization.
