Overview
- In Argentina, municipalities including Villa Gobernador Gálvez intensify inspections, seizures and sanctions under local bans while running awareness drives such as “Más luces, menos ruido.”
- Buenos Aires formalized a citywide prohibition on audible pyrotechnics via APRA, declaring the capital a “zona calma libre de pirotecnia” with penalties for violators.
- Guaymallén reports far fewer seizures than a year ago—about 70 kg versus roughly 700 kg—while warning that online and street sales persist and reminding that fines can reach 5,000 UTM.
- Vigo adjusted its municipal bando after objections from AGIP, AEPIRO and ACFAE, keeping restrictions in public spaces but allowing limited use under conditions and extending bans to delivery shipments.
- Holiday risk indicators remain high, with Peru’s fire corps logging 75 fires in the first hours of 2025 and 8,881 through November, a child burn case confirmed in Ciudad Obregón, and experts urging households and condominiums to form brigades, maintain equipment and avoid fireworks.
