Saxony: City of Dresden: Ban on fireworks and public barbecues

Dresden (dpa/sn) - The city of Dresden has imposed a ban on fireworks and public barbecues. The reason for this is the predicted, ongoing drought and the associated high risk of fire, the city administration announced on Monday. The ban applies from August 2nd to September 30th, 2022. The ban is intended to prevent combustible material from being ignited by flying sparks and causing fire. By containing the risk of fire, large-scale operations by the fire brigade should also be avoided in order to have capacities available elsewhere.
