00:06 including bombs, torpedoes and rockets. He further explains Section 99 and its
00:14 restrictions. It speaks about fireworks in tongues, right? And they identify tongues
00:20 to be the city of Portisby, city of San Fernando, the borough of Arima, right? And
00:26 it speaks to anywhere within two miles of the boundaries of those tongues that
00:35 it is unlawful to discharge fireworks, right? And if it is you do so, it carries
00:42 a penalty of a fine of $1,000. He is also warning the young ones against
00:48 playing with these explosive devices. There were videos on social media with
00:54 young persons discharging fireworks at each other. Yes. Right? They were
01:00 discharging fireworks at homes. They were discharging fireworks in vehicles
01:07 occupied with other people, right? And we hope that persons understand that those

01:28 elderly and pets when using fireworks. Nicole M Romany, TV6 News.
