Emergency services in Amsterdam are responding to small fires caused by fireworks. Fireworks are banned in some Dutch cities, including Amsterdam, but are allowed on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.
No injuries are reported in relation to the fires.
In a separate incident earlier on New Year's Eve, a 14-year-old boy died in a firework-related accident in Rotterdam, according to local reports.
In 2023, a riot broke out in Berlin, Germany on New Year's Eve with people launching fireworks towards police, prompting calls for a ban on the pyrotechnics.
