N. Shore municipalities
restrict fireworks use

NORTH SHORE fire depariments are reminding local res-
iderits to have a safe Halloween this year by using caution

when setting off fireworks.

No one is allowed to sell or

set off firecrackers in any of the
three North Shore muncipalities,
but the rules ‘for the use of
fireworks differ in each communi-
ty.
@ In North Vancouver District,
no one is allowed to sell, give or
set off fireworks except between
Cct. 24and Nov. 1.

In addition, no one is allowed
to sell fireworks to anyone under
19 years of age.

The fireworks permitted and
solid at local North Vancouver
District retailers are those
classified as low-hazard fireworks.
The main risk with this class of
fireworks is from fires starting
elsewhere.

They are unlikely to explode vi-
oiently, but they function individ-
ually and may spread the fire.

In the. district, low-hazard
fireworks may be sold to an adult
19 years of age and over for his
own use on his own property.

That person bears the responsi-
bility for safe use by himself or
others.

There will be three fireworks
displays in North Vancouver
District on Oct. 31 at § p.m. at
Norgate Park, Lynn Valley Park
and Myrtle Park.

‘. The displays are sponsered
jointly by the district and the
District of North Vancouver
Firefighters Local 1183.
