The Sale and Use of Fireworks has been Banned in
Fort Bend & Harris County
Harris & Fort Bend Counties have banned the sale or use of fireworks this year due to the severe drought we are experiencing. It is very important that everyone complies with this ban since the grass is very dry and could easily catch fire and destroy homes and lives in our community.
“Sparklers, novelties and trick noisemakers are not classified as fireworks but they are a source of ignition and emit sparks that are not contained; therefore, they are included in the outdoor burn ban,” says Harris County Fire Marshall Mike Montgomery.
Violators of the fireworks ban face a $1,000 fine and/or 180 days in jail. Violators of the burn ban face a fine of up to $500 for each violation. Please report any violation of this ban to the Harris County sheriff’s Department at 713-221-6000.
The Greater Mission Bend Area Council wish you and your family a safe and fun weekend!
