'We knew we were living on a time bomb.' Juana still can't remember

'We knew we were living on a time bomb.' Juana still can't remember the day her parents died without feeling tremendous fear. Six years ago, they were selling fireworks at the pyrotechnics market in Mexico's Tultepec. Suddenly there was a powerful explosion, which triggered a fire that totally gutted the place, leaving 42 people dead.

But deadly accidents do not stop the residents of the city from their work. For them, the production of pyrotechnics, which is still done by hand, is their main job and favourite pastime.

On January 3, Russia celebrates Day of Sparkles and Garland Lights. On that day we want to remind you that pyrotechnics can be dangerous (observe safety precautions when using).
