As the saying goes, the sound of firecrackers bid farewell to the past year. But with the enhancement of the public awareness of environmental protection, on the Spring Festival Eve this year, people decreased the number of firecrackers and fireworks significantly. Statistics from Ningbo Fire Brigade show that from 16.00 January 30th to 8.00 January 31, the fire brigade forces managed to fight 63 fire alarms, with both the alarm number and disaster number dropped dramatically.
Reportedly, before the winter vacation this year, many students from primary and secondary schools received a special assignment: to persuade their families and friends to set off less of no fireworks during the Spring Festival holiday, and many units including streets, communities and some residential property management agencies also announced the proposal for reducing fireworks to the citizens. Before the Spring Festival, a statement of "no fireworks this year" was very popular among netizens in Ningbo.
According to statistics from Ningbo Fire Brigade departments, on the Spring Festival Eve this year, 31 fire alarms were reported in the urban area (including the three urban districts), and fortunately most of them didn’t lead to disasters.
