Dreieich urges caution with fireworks to protect animals and heritage sites
The city of Dreieich is reminding residents to follow firework restrictions this New Year’s Eve. Officials are calling for extra caution to protect animals, historic buildings, and vulnerable areas from noise and fire hazards. The appeal comes ahead of celebrations, with a focus on safety over penalties.
A recent meeting, led by First City Councillor Holger Dechert, highlighted the risks of fireworks. Noise and stray sparks can threaten animals in farms, enclosures, and the local shelter, as well as nearby nature reserves. The city is urging people to set off fireworks only where legally allowed—and with great care.
The city is prioritising education over fines to ensure a safe start to 2025. By following the guidelines, residents can help protect animals, historic sites, and at-risk areas. Officials hope the measures will reduce accidents and disturbances during the festivities.
