Lolita Diaz: In drought-dry conditions, fireworks too dangerous

I learned that, even through the drought, there will be fireworks booths this year. Is it a joke?

I have read every day we have to save water. It is the beginning of summer and we have had so many fires so far, and the selling of fireworks is allowed? Who is the person who authorizes them? Does he or she know the risk the fireworks imply? Common sense is required.

Lolita Diaz, Ceres
