Tarrant County just issued a burn ban for the next 90days. I have always found it a strange coincident that they always issue one just a couple of days before the 4th of July. I can only imagine how damaging this can be to the firework distributors that have been stocking up for the for the holiday and then this happens...
Edit.....
just found this, Is this saying its ok to discharge fireworks outside the city limits?

Fireworks Safety Tips
Here are a few tips on how you can have a safe Fourth of July:
Take your family to a PUBLIC FIREWORKS DISPLAY. Look in your local newspaper for locations and times for these public displays. LEAVE THE FIREWORKS TO THE PROFESSIONALS.
Do not ignite fireworks in your city. Most cities in Tarrant County have stiff penalties for igniting fireworks in their city limits.
You CAN NOT IGNITE FIREWORKS:
From a motor vehicle or shoot fireworks towards a motor vehicle. This means you can not pull over to the side of the road and ignite your fireworks.
Within 600 feet of any church, hospital licensed childcare center, or public or private school.
Within 100 feet of a place where fireworks are sold or stored.
Within 100 feet of a place where flammable liquids or flammable compressed gasses are stored or dispensed.
If you do decide to ignite fireworks be sure and have an area where the grass has been mowed and cleaned to prevent any grass fires from occurring.
Do not let your children ignite the fireworks, you do it for them. Most fireworks related injuries come from children igniting fireworks.
Stay clear of structures such as homes, barns, and storage buildings when igniting fireworks.
Remember, not all of the fireworks will perform as they are made to do. IF ONE DOES NOT EXPLODE AFTER IT HAS BEEN LIT, LEAVE IT ALONE. Many fireworks related injuries have occurred from fireworks that have a delayed ignition.
**** Very Important Reminder
THE ONLY PLACE TO INGINTE FIREWORKS IN THE UNINCORPORATED AREAS OF TARRANT COUNTY IS IF YOU OWN PORPERTY IN THE UNINCORPORATED AREAS OR YOU RECEIVE PERMISSION FROM A PROPERTY OWNER IN THE UNINCORPORATED AREA TO ALLOW YOU TO INGINTE YOUR FIREWORKS.
PLEASE HAVE A SAFE AND HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!
