Kitimat RCMP are once again promoting safe firework usage after an incident from this weekend which could have turned out far worse.
Police received reports of fireworks being discharged in a hazardous manner on October 30th.
When they arrived on scene, the resident stated that the fireworks had fallen over, causing them to discharge in an unsafe manner.
While the resident was cooperative, it is just one example of a number of fireworks related responses made by RCMP in the northwest over the past two weeks.
Residents are reminded to check which bylaws apply to their area, as they can differ between municipalities and Regional Districts.
RCMP would also like to remind residents to report bylaw violations relating to fireworks, as they often go unreported.
