With Independence Day right around the corner and many late-night cookouts and lake days, Houston area residents have lots to celebrate during the summertime. For many, this fanfare includes blasts of multicolored fireworks, lighting up the night skies.
However, for residents who want to put on their own show, it’s important to take note of where they can light-up and the safety suggestions local law enforcement agencies and emergency first responders recommend. A resident cannot ignite fireworks within 600 feet of a church, hospital, veterinary hospital, licensed childcare facility, school, college or university, nor can they light up within 100 feet of a location where flammable liquids or compressed gases are stored or dispensed or where fireworks are kept and sold.
Montgomery County Fire Marshal Jimmy Williams said pyrotechnics are prohibited by local ordinances in most cities in Montgomery County and other restrictions in The Woodlands Township.
