AS everyone sets their sights on 2023, police and CFA are reminding people not to let illegal fireworks ignite tragedy this New Year’s Eve.

As celebrations across the state return to normal after two years of COVID-19 restrictions and people celebrate the end of 2022 surrounded by family and friends, authorities are urging people not to put the health and safety of others at risk by allowing unlicensed people to use illegal fireworks.
