Preparing to bring in the new year with a bang? 🧨 Think again 🤔 ⁣ ⁣ Setting off illegal fireworks will result in criminal charges - that's up to 15 years jail and thousands of dollars in fines.⁣ ⁣ They also pose a major health and safety risk to the community.⁣ ⁣ Over the years we’ve come across some serious injuries caused by illegal fireworks, from serious burns to open wounds and eye injuries.⁣ ⁣ But using fireworks in summer can also spark bushfires, which can destroy homes and communities. It’s just not worth the risk.⁣ ⁣ If you spot anyone lighting an illegal firework and you need immediate police attendance, please call Triple Zero (000).⁣ ⁣ #HappyNewYear #Fireworks #IllegalFireworks #FireHazard #BushfireSafety #FireSeason #StaySafe
