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).
