Shen, deputy director of Changzhou Forbidden Office and deputy detachment leader of Public Security Detachment of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, said at the briefing that since the implementation of controlling the discharge of fireworks and firecrackers in Changzhou in 20 19, the illegal discharge of fireworks and firecrackers in the city has continued to operate at a low level, and the major fires, casualties and incidents caused by fireworks and firecrackers in the forbidden area have remained "zero", effectively reducing fire accidents, improving air quality and maintaining public safety. This year, the public's attention to the fireworks and firecrackers discharge policy is significantly higher than in previous years. The "No-sound Office" actively complied with the people's feelings and public opinions, conducted in-depth research and evaluation on whether to cancel the centralized discharge point of fireworks and firecrackers, and whether to adjust the fireworks and firecrackers forbidden area, and solicited opinions and suggestions extensively. On the basis of comprehensive evaluation of legality, rationality, feasibility, safety and other factors, it is reported to the municipal government for research and approval to determine the control policy of fireworks and firecrackers in Changzhou this year.
It is reported that in the early stage, Changzhou Banning Office organized many business meetings of public security, emergency management, ecological environment, fire rescue and other functional departments at Changzhou city and county levels around whether to expand the banned area, and convened a number of township street leaders, business representatives, fireworks and firecrackers retail owners to hold consultation meetings and symposiums. On the basis of extensively soliciting social conditions and public opinions, it is decided that this city will not expand the forbidden area for the time being this year. Continue to implement the Notice on Adjusting the Forbidden Area of Fireworks and Firecrackers in Urban Areas jointly issued by Changzhou Public Security Bureau, Bureau of Ecology and Environment, Urban Management Bureau and Emergency Management Bureau from June 5438 to October 2022.

Shen Yajun said that after four years of publicity, Changzhou citizens have basically understood the policy of banning discharge and their awareness of safe discharge has been greatly enhanced. Last year, Changzhou was the only city in the province 13 with a centralized discharge point. At present, some discharge points in Changzhou have no use conditions. In addition, centralized emissions will have a greater impact on air quality, and people gathering emissions will easily lead to some safety hazards. Based on the above considerations, Changzhou will no longer set up centralized discharge points this year.
The relevant departments in Changzhou reminded that the general public should consciously abide by the "Measures for the Administration of Fireworks and Firecrackers in Changzhou". Fireworks and firecrackers are strictly prohibited in the forbidden zone, and fireworks and firecrackers are also prohibited in the following places outside the forbidden zone: (1) cultural relics protection units and their protection scope, scenic spots and public green spaces; (2) Transportation hubs such as stations, docks and airports, and safety protection zones for railway and rail transit lines; (3) Places for producing, selling and storing inflammable and explosive articles and safety protection zones; (4) Motor vehicle lanes, non-motor vehicle lanes and street intersections; (5) Large-scale energy and power facilities, power transmission and transformation facilities safety protection zones, overhead power line protection zones, overhead communication lines, oil and gas pipeline facilities and heating facilities are within the scope of safety protection; (6) State organs, kindergartens, schools, medical institutions, children's welfare homes and institutions for the aged; (seven) key fire prevention areas such as forests; (eight) residential quarters, high-rise buildings and underground buildings; (nine) shopping malls, bazaars, public cultural places and other crowded places; (ten) other places where fireworks and firecrackers are prohibited as prescribed by the people's government of the city or municipality (district).

The above-mentioned professional fireworks should be set off by professionals using professional equipment in places that meet the relevant provisions of the state.
