The sale of fireworks is restricted to the four days leading up to, and including, Guy Fawkes. Fewer alcohol-fuelled Guy Fawkes parties in recent years had resulted in less stupid behaviour in Dunedin. Senior Sergeant Craig Dinnissen, of Dunedin, asked people to "be sensible and be safe" if celebrating Guy Fawkes tonight.
