- The executive committee plans to launch around 2,000 fireworks from the Yuragawa Riverbank, implementing comprehensive safety measures such as expanding no-entry zones, securing access for fire trucks, and limiting stall openings.
- Drawing lessons from the incident 11 years ago, Fukuchiyama City is committed to prioritizing safety through thorough preparations, aiming to deliver a safe and enjoyable fireworks festival for its citizens.
Fukuchiyama City, Kyoto Prefecture, is working to resume its city fireworks display in August this year, 11 years after it was suspended following a stall explosion in 2013.
On the 11th, Fukuchiyama City approved sponsorship for an executive committee for the fireworks display, aiming for an August opening. Going forward, the city will consult with relevant organizations, including the fire department and police station, and provide the executive committee with advice and guidance on safety measures.
The executive committee is composed of the general incorporated association 'DOKKIOSE,' which promotes regional revitalization activities, the Fukuchiyama Tourism Association, and three shopping districts in the city, and has applied for sponsorship from the city.
According to the executive committee, about 2,000 fireworks will be launched from the Yuragawa Riverbank, where the accident occurred, on the evening of August 11.
As a safety measure, the no-entry zone will be expanded compared to past events, the Otonose Bridge will be closed to allow fire trucks to pass, and security guards will be deployed. In addition, the establishment of stalls will be restricted to nearby parks, and the use of anything other than IH cooking appliances and charcoal fires will be prohibited, ensuring thorough safety management.
In May, Fukuchiyama City accepted a proposal from the 'Meeting to Consider the Direction of Fireworks Displays,' consisting of experts, and stated that it would participate in the event from a sponsorship standpoint if an organization meeting the requirements of public organization participation and implementation of safety measures applied.
Yukiaiki Okuda (43), Chairman of the Executive Committee, said, "We will prepare with responsibility and determination, prioritizing safety. We want to use this year as a model case to continue the fireworks display in the future."
Kazuo Ohashi, Mayor of the city, stated that "If an accident occurs, we will participate in victim relief and take necessary measures."
Fukuchiyama City will learn from the fireworks display accident that occurred 11 years ago and, with a focus on safety, thoroughly prepare to provide citizens with a safe and enjoyable fireworks display.
