Progressive decision significant says Fire Service
The Fire Service believes the decision announced
today by Progressive Enterprises to no longer sell
fireworks, reflects a shift in the publics attitude to
fireworks.
Acting National Commander, Paul McGill, applauded the leadership shown by one of New Zealands largest retailers of fireworks.
For many years the Fire Service has been concerned by the number of fires and injuries caused by fireworks. Even though law changes introduced this year brought about a big improvement, New Zealanders continue to pay a high toll for Guy Fawkes.
