Why it matters
Fireworks sales began on Dec. 20 in preparation for New Year's Eve. Williamson County urges the public to practice safe use of fireworks where they are allowed including:
- Purchasing fireworks from reputable sellers
- Keeping children and pets away from fireworks
- Lighting fireworks outdoors, on a flat surface, and away from homes, buildings, dry leaves and grass
- Following label directions, instructions and warnings
- Disposing of fireworks properly
