Fireworks display causes concern in Breslau
Waterloo Regional Police are putting out a stern reminder about fireworks safety after a concerning display in Breslau.
Police released a video on their social media channels, showing fireworks erupting on the road of a residential neighbourhood. The explosions can be seen close to cars and homes.
In an email to CTV News, police confirmed the video was taken in Breslau on Thursday night. They said it “raises obvious safety concerns.”

Residents are encouraged to contact bylaw offices to report issues that are not criminal concerns.
