The Fireworks Proposal That Almost Burned Down Sarajevo!
Imagine this: a young man decides to propose to his girlfriend at a romantic spot in Sarajevo’s Vratnik neighborhood, near the White Fortress. Everything goes perfectly, she says “yes,” and then – boom! – the fireworks meant to celebrate the moment turn into a full-blown disaster.
Yes, you read that right. Those fireworks didn’t just light up the sky; they sparked a fire in the dry brush that quickly spread. Panic erupted among locals, and thick smoke was visible from many parts of the city. The professional Sarajevo fire brigade had to act fast to stop the flames from spreading.
How Did It All Start?
Reports say the fire was caused by careless and illegal use of fireworks. Footage shows a group of teenagers setting off pyrotechnics, which led to the blaze. Firefighters managed to contain the fire and prevent major damage. Luckily, no one was hurt.
A Warning to the Public and Consequences
Authorities have launched an investigation and may punish those responsible. They also urge citizens to avoid using fireworks, especially in sensitive and protected areas like the White Fortress.
Is a Romantic Proposal Worth This Risk?
This story makes you wonder: how safe is it to use fireworks in urban areas? Is a moment of romance worth a potential disaster? The firefighters did their job, but what if next time they aren’t there in time?
The Bottom Line
This unusual mix of love and fireworks nearly ended in catastrophe. Next time you plan fireworks, think twice – love shouldn’t burn, and the city definitely shouldn’t catch fire because of it.
