In Aotearoa/New Zealand, New Zealanders around the country have taken part in celebrating Guy Fawkes. Thousands of people have gathered around public firework exhibits. In Auckland there were exhibits at Waitakere, and also at Orewa Beach. In Christchurch, there was a themed David Bowie firework display. But Wellington, has claimed of having the country’s largest fireworks exhibit. Over the past few years public exhibits have became more common. Controls over fireworks have become tighter, having limited sales and uplifting the purchase age to 18. Last year Fire departments were called out to 418 firework incidents, going down from 2007 which had 618 reports.
