Fireworks Are Illegal In Abbotsford

ABBOTSFORD, BC, October 17, 2013 – The use of fireworks and fire-

crackers are not only dangerous, they are illegal in the City of Abbotsford an-nounced Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service today.

While fireworks have been advertised for sale on the Sumas First Nations

Lands and in communities bordering the city, their use in Abbotsford is against City bylaws and will be strictly enforced.

Residents caught with fireworks will be subject to fines ranging from $200 - $1000 and their fireworks will be confis-cated.

This year, the extremely dry conditions in the Fraser Valley are causing addi-tional concerns to fire officials as Hal-loween and Diwali approach.
