The Coast Guard has put a temporary safety zone in place on the Patapsco River in Baltimore, Maryland, due to a planned fireworks display for New Year's Eve. This measure is to protect people from potential dangers like accidental fires and dangerous debris during the event. The safety zone will be active from 11:55 p.m. on December 31, 2024, to 12:15 a.m. on January 1, 2025, covering 300 feet around the fireworks barge. Entry is only allowed with permission from the Coast Guard.
Simple Explanation
The Coast Guard is making a special area on the Patapsco River where boats and people can't go during the New Year's Eve fireworks, to make sure everyone stays safe. This area is like an invisible safety bubble around the fireworks boat.
