Following Vaud and Valais, Geneva has banned the use of pyrotechnic devices inside all bars, restaurants and entertainment venues.
The decision was announced by the State Council yesterday, citing safety concerns after the deadly fire in Crans-Montana.
Authorities say the ban is a precautionary measure and have ordered a broader review of fire-safety rules.
A circular will also be sent to some 4,000 venue operators urging stricter checks, with targeted inspections due to begin shortly.
