Firework regs need overhaul, says FBU

摘要

The fire Brigades Union is calling for an overhaul of the regulations that cover the import, manufacturer, transport and storage of fireworks in the UK.rnA year after two fire service personnel were killed in an explosion at a fireworks depot in Shortgate, East Sussex, the union says that emergency services and the public are being put in needless danger because of confused regulation, lack of monitoring and the poor labelling of imported fireworks.rnFBU general secretary Matt Wrack said: "In fires, containers packed with fireworks can cause the same devastation as some military bombs and artillery shells. Despite the dangers already identified there has been no action from government, the Health and Safety Executive or thernother regulatory agencies.
