The Woodlands Township Reinforces Firework Prohibition

THE WOODLANDS, TX – The Woodlands Fire Department and The Woodlands Township remind all residents that The Woodlands Covenants strictly prohibit the sale or use of home fireworks and sparklers of any kind in The Woodlands Township neighborhoods.

The Woodlands Township is situated in a beautiful forest, and one errant spark could severely damage the community.
