Every New Year's Eve, fireworks light up the skies across Sweden, bringing joy to many.
However, the celebrations come with risks.
Improper handling of fireworks leads to numerous injuries each year.
Additionally, the loud explosions can terrify pets, as seen in the case of Vera, a puppy who panicked and ran away last year.
After a ten-day search, she was found just in time.
To ensure a safe celebration, Swedish police remind the public to follow local regulations and secure permits for fireworks in restricted areas.
They also urge parents to guide teenagers on responsible behavior during the festivities.
