Reykjavík New Year's Fireworks 2009: The Rescue squads in Iceland are entirely made up of volenteers. Their only source of income is to sell fireworks to the population for New Year's Eve.

  • How did you guys organize all of this? I've got to do something like that here.

  • @zildjianuo7 It is not ‘organised’ per se. It is a societal anarchical fest you see! What one does is to just trot off to one of the annual salespots of some local rescue squad or a sportsclub of your choice and buy fireworks at outrageously expensive prices, (family packs and firework cakes are very popular). Then on the last day of the year you spend some quality time with your family and make sure that everybody practise common sense handling fireworks..

  • Rest of Europa borrow money to you,

    and you guys shoot those moneys to the sky ...

    Brilliant! 8-D

  • @RolloPeikko This is not government funded display of pyrotechnics, nor is it payed by bankster barons or speculators who don’t care if they bankrupt whole communities or countries for their own selfish greed! These fireworks are payed by normal everyday working people, with their own hard earned money. Most of it goes to supporting the rescue squads who are populated by volunteers who risk their lives to help saving lives in a country where nature often stirs lethally. This is not wasted money‼
