As the 4th of July approaches, the Lakeway Police Department would like to remind residents that shooting off fireworks in the city limits of Lakeway is prohibited by City Ordinance, carrying a fine up to $500 for each offense. Not only does shooting off fireworks carry a possible fine, but they are also a potential fire hazard, and the loud noise can disturb area neighbors, and stress our pets. Last year, the Lakeway Police Department received nearly two dozen fireworks-related calls.
"Like most of you, our Lakeway Officers are looking forward to a safe and enjoyable 4th of July," said Chief Glen Koen with the Lakeway Police Department. "To help ensure that happens, please use fireworks responsibly and only where allowed. The violation of the ordinance will burst the holiday bubble for your neighbors and our officers. Instead of popping off your own fireworks, please enjoy a local show, such as the one provided by the Hill Country Galleria in Bee Cave."
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) reported that there were 1,500 injuries last year related to firecrackers, with 74% of those injuries occurring in the weeks immediately before and after the 4th of July holiday. There has been a 25% increase in fireworks-related injuries since 2006. If you decide to go to an area outside of the city limits that allows you to shoot off fireworks, please do so safely and keep in mind the dry weather conditions, avoiding areas that could ignite a fire.
