Two teenagers died in Germany due to homemade fireworks on New Year's Eve

Tragedy in Bielefeld

According to Главком: In the city of Bielefeld, Germany, two 18-year-old teenagers died due to homemade fireworks on New Year's Eve. The incidents occurred in different parts of the city, located in the North Rhine-Westphalia region. Both teenagers sustained fatal facial injuries after igniting homemade fireworks, indicating the danger of using such hazardous pyrotechnics.

Last year, during New Year's celebrations in Germany, at least five people died due to careless handling of fireworks. Among the victims that year was a 24-year-old man who died in the city of Geseke as a result of a firecracker explosion that may have been made illegally. This confirms the seriousness of the safety problem associated with the use of pyrotechnics.

The Situation with Pyrotechnics This Year

This year, despite the ban on launching fireworks, Ukrainians were allowed to use firecrackers and sparklers.

“The launching of fireworks is under strict prohibition,” noted Victoria Ponomaryova.

This situation emphasizes the importance of adhering to safety rules during celebrations to avoid tragedies that can occur due to careless handling of hazardous materials.

These tragedies in Bielefeld once again highlight the issue of safety during New Year's celebrations, especially in the context of using homemade pyrotechnics. Despite efforts by the authorities to ban dangerous fireworks, cases of accidents indicate the need for increased control and informing the public about the dangers associated with the use of pyrotechnics.

• Citizens must be aware of the risks.
• It is important to adhere to established safety standards.
• Preventing similar tragedies in the future is necessary.
