Some municipalities have banned fireworks, but everyone has often heard backfires! Some let go!
As a reminder, most police regulations prohibit fireworks, except for a period of time on New Year’s Eve. A written request for exemption from the mayor is often possible. Some municipalities have included the ban in their police regulations, such as in Gaume with Chiny, Florenville, Meix-devant-Virton, Tintigny, Étalle, Rouvroy. Mayors have issued specific orders to prohibit it, such as Bastogne and Bertogne. In part, for animal welfare or safety. In Léglise and Attert, fireworks have been banned all year round since 2020.
In Famenne-Ardenne, nine complaint calls were recorded at 101. Four in Durbuy, one in Hotton, one in Laroche and three in Rendeux: “The majority were within the period provided for by the general police regulations. Depending on the teams available, a team went to the site and put an end to it. We did it without drawing up reports, we worked more on prevention.“
On the police side, we recall that “compliance with these regulations is very complicated with the immensity of the territory“. In general, few reports of problems for animals.
In the Center Ardennes area, “It has also been relatively calm, very few complaints calls in the evening, no animals running away like in the past, I think people have reduced the level of fireworks. The obligation to use lights with low noise does not work badly”assures this police officer.
In Arlon, no intervention in the Arlon area, which was already busy with a burglary. Only one complaint for firecrackers in the street in the capital. “M but people sometimes prefer to write on the networks than to call the police“,
In the South-Luxembourg zone, the officer indicates that fires have been fired, but that we cannot be everywhere behind each individual.
In the Semois and Lesse areas, nothing to report. In Gaume where this was prohibited, there was no grumbling, except for horses which ran away towards Chiny, causing the discontent of their owner.
