The Roxas City government has designated an area along Primer de Mayo St. near the foot of the Roxas City Bridge as this year's firecracker and pyrotechnic products trading zone, in line with the Christmas and New Year's Eve celebrations.
Roxas City Fire Marshal C/Insp. Lester Kenneth Gimotea said that a fire truck will be positioned in the area as one of the preventive measures against fire incidents especially that the merchandise are very combustible and explosive in nature.
The BFP also requires firecracker retailers to use metal or iron materials in putting up stall partitions.
"If they have completed their paper works, they can start constructing their stalls," Gimotea said, adding that about 75 individuals have attended two separate sessions on fire safety at the Roxas City Fire Station last Nov. 25 and 28, respectively.
The lecture on fire safety is one of the important requirements among firecracker retailer applicants who also underwent an orientation from the Department of Trade and Industry, PNP and Roxas City Licensing Office last month.
However, Gimotea said not all those who attended the fire safety lecture will individually establish a stall as some will venture into the business in groups.
