Officials Stress Fireworks Safety
Area authorities are urging residents to know the rules about fireworks and use extra caution during the July 4th holiday weekend. Most towns in Denton County prohibit fireworks, including Argyle, Copper Canyon, Double Oak, Flower Mound and Highland Village. They are allowed in unincorporated areas like Lantana if discharged on private property, away from buildings and people. The Denton County Fire Marshal will patrol the area looking for violations. Residents in unincorporated areas can report fireworks violations to the Denton County Sheriff’s office at 940-349-1600.
