Fireworks Safety
|
|
|
Fireworks and celebrations go together, especially during the Fourth of July
and New Year holiday seasons. But fireworks can be dangerous when used improperly, causing
serious burn and eye injuries.
|
|
|
Even though it is legal to buy, possess, and use consumer fireworks (1.4G) in
the unincorporated areas of Harris County, there are some places you cannot
use fireworks even in the unincorporated county. If celebrating with fireworks is
legal in your area, and you decide to use them, please refer to the
Harris County Fire Marshal's Fireworks Overview
website for additional information. Included on this site is information regarding safety tips, common violations, retail requirements,
current public displays, and LPA's.

You can also visit the
Texas Fireworks Safety
or
National Council on Fireworks Safety
websites. Their mission is to educate the public
on the safe and responsible use of fireworks and offer a wide variety of information including
safety tips, statistics, state laws and current news related to fireworks.
