No special measures are planned by the district police in the Rhein-Sieg district, and no prohibition zones were shown. However, the federal police have extended the prohibitions on weapons in train stations beyond New Year's Eve, and units are on standby in Sankt Augustin. The regional operations center also warns of a ban on fireworks in nature and landscape protection areas to avoid damage to house and farm animals as well as domestic wild animals.

safety instructions for New Year's Eve

The emergency services will also be active on New Year's Eve and set itself the goal of minimizing the number of operations. It is important to use fireworks in order not to endanger or injure yourself and others. Parents are asked to make sure that children celebrate safely and under supervision, such as Johanniter.de reported.

Christian from the Johanniter emergency services emphasizes the importance of a free rail for emergency vehicles. In addition, it is pointed out that alcohol, which is often consumed on New Year's Eve, can influence the sensation of pain and cause aggressiveness and a distorted assessment of the situation. Handling with fireworks in the alcoholized state should therefore be avoided.
