PHUKET: Residents throughout Phuket Town are being asked to pay extra attention to fire safety concerns amid the upcoming Chinese New Year celebrations, which will get underway tomorrow (Feb 5).

 

A notice issued by Phuket City Municipality today called for residents to beware fires started by wayward firecrackers and fireworks, and reminded drivers to make way for fire trucks in traffic.

 

“During Chinese New Year 2019 on Feb 4-6, Thai people of Chinese descent will observe traditional worshiping of their ancestors and sacred objects by burning incense candles, making offerings by burning silver and gold paper, and lighting firecrackers at shrines, many of which are located in residential areas across Phuket,” the notice said.
