As 4th of July approaches you may be thinking about fireworks but I'm thinking about the drought. My house backs to a greenbelt and my neighborhood is not in the city limits so previously there has not been a ban on fireworks in our area and people have fired them off in the greenbelt behind our house. Every year it's made us nervous but last year the neighborhood banned the use. Many people didn't get the notice. In a drought situation like we have in Austin now, it's an accident waiting to happen.
Please check area restrictions before you set off fireworks. Currently there are drought conditions in Travis, Hays, Williamson and Bastrop counties.
FIREWORKS SAFETY TIPS
1. Read all the instructions on the fireworks packaging materials
2. Make sure the area is clear of anything flammable
3. Have an extinquisher ready in case of emergency
4. Don't use fireworks if there's a wind because it can blow sparks on someones roof or to a tree
5. Carefully supervise children. It's fire!
