Officials warn citizens of illegal fireworks

Submitted Report

Published: Saturday, June 20, 2009 1:43 PM CDT
The city of Carrollton will not be hosting a fireworks show this year and hopes that all citizens enjoy one of the many shows in the surrounding areas.


The Carrollton Fire Department reminds citizens that the possession or discharge of fireworks within the city limits of Carrollton or the town of Hebron is prohibited by city ordinance.

Any person caught in the possession of, or in the act of discharging, fireworks could face a fine of up to $2,000. Carrollton Fire and Police patrol neighborhoods and investigate illegal discharges and fireworks complaints.

All fireworks are illegal. Class C fireworks include most over-the-counter fireworks such as bottle rockets, firecrackers, roman candles, sparklers, spinners and sparkle fountains.

For information, contact the Carrollton Fire Marshal at 972-466-3210.

" Is Carrollton ever going to have a 4th of July fireworks show again? It went on for many years, and now all the sudden stops, not a good move. "
