BFP on lookout for possibly dangerous fireworks named Yolanda, Napoles

Add "Yolanda" and "Napolies" to this year's holiday threats, according to the Bureau of Fire Protection.The two are the newest kind of dangerous fireworks now being sold, radio dzBB reported early Tuesday. Citing information from the BFP in Bulacan, the dzBB report said that the "Yolanda" firework, named after the super typhoon that killed nearly 6,000 people in the Visayas, resembled a large fountain. It can be a foot-and-a-half long, with up to half a kilo of gunpowder stuffed inside. The BFP believes that this makes the Yolanda potentially destructive. Meanwhile, the BFP is still gathering more information on the "Napoles" firework, named after pork-barrel scam operator, Janet Napoles. — DVM, GMA News
