Several men in Pingtung City set off fireworks at each other in a parking lot without permission on Monday evening, sending fireworks in all directions. Onlookers were concerned that the men could be injured in the crossfire. This begs the question whether the festival spirit blurs the line between celebrating and being reckless?
Several men have set off fireworks in a parking lot, and to make matters interesting, are shooting at each other.
The men clearly find some delight in this while disregarding the beloved parked cars around them.
Voice of local resident
Witnessed the incident
They are setting off fireworks, but also shooting at each other. After waiting for some time, I asked them whether they feared damaging other peoples’ cars. Then one of the men said, they are shooting upwards, so there wouldn’t be any accidents. Still, this is dangerous; at times cars can leak gasoline which could have set off an explosion from the fireworks.
The location was a parking lot in Pingtung City where locals had parked their cars. Seeing the fireworks, many were left fearing that fireworks would hit them, or damage their cars. The reckless men shot fireworks at each other too without any protective gear as if they were adrenaline junkies.

Others have cars there, if I parked there, I would also be against it.

Pingtung County Environmental Protection Bureau
From 10pm to 7am of the following morning, the setting off of fireworks that are flying, ascending, or making loud noises was prohibited. Violators will be fined between NT$30,000 to NT$150,000.
Turning an average parking lot into your playground can easily become a very expensive leisure activity, especially if your toys are fireworks. In this case, the Environmental Protection Bureau was not notified, but the parking lot operator will inspect for damage and seek compensation.

周一晚上9點多,幾名男子擅自到屏東一處戶外停車場放煙火,甚至是朝著對方互射,有民眾剛停好車,看到傻眼,很怕受到波及之外,也擔心這幾名男子,是在拿自己的生命安全開玩笑嗎?
幾名男子在停車場大放煙火,甚至拿著煙火互射。
男子們覺得很刺激好玩,但等等,旁邊都是別人的愛車。
[[聲源:當事民眾]]
“放煙火,但是他是對射的狀態,那我等他放一個段落之後,我就問他們說,他們這樣子都不怕射傷別人的車子嗎,那其中有一個弟弟就跟我說,他們是往上射,就不要有個意外,因為這樣子很危險,有的時候可能,車子有點漏油(怕起火燃燒)”
地點是在屏東市的一處停車場,民眾停好車後看到這幕,傻眼了,除了怕被波及之外,也怕愛車受損,而男子們拿煙火互射,身上都沒有防護,根本也像在拿自己的生命開玩笑,光看就替他們捏把冷汗。
[[附近民眾]]
“9點半到10點,他們就開始咻咻咻,放煙火,那煙火是還滿大的那種,不是那種仙女棒,比較小的”
[[附近民眾]]
“(那邊)還有別人的車,如果我停車在裡面的話,我也會很不爽”
白天實際回到停車場,地面還留有砲灰、垃圾等等,而停車場明明有告示牌,清楚寫著禁止在場內嬉戲。
[[停車場工作人員]]
“是住附近的(民眾)說,有人在你們(停車場)裡面放鞭炮,目前要看公司這邊(怎麼處理)”
[[屏東縣環保局稽查科科長 王奕軒]]
“晚上10點到翌日早上7點,不得施放專業爆竹煙火,及飛行類、升空類、爆炸音類、摔炮類的一般爆竹煙火,違者裁處3萬元以上,15萬元以下罰鍰”
把停車場當成自己的遊樂場,環保局雖然沒有獲報,但最高可開罰15萬元,停車場業者也將檢查是否有損壞,做後續求償。
