As the New Year’s holiday weekend approaches, we are reminding our residents and visitors that it is illegal to use fireworks in the City of Arlington. Every year, people across the country experience unnecessary death, injury and/or property damage because of fireworks. People who are caught using fireworks illegally in the City of Arlington may face a fine up to $2,000.
We recognize that neighborhoods across the city will still be filled with bangs, booms and bright flashes of colorful light as people celebrate the start of 2023 with illegal fireworks in their yards or at nearby parks. The City of Arlington has launched an interactive webpage, www.arlingtontx.gov/reportfireworks, so that residents can provide information about fireworks activity to the Arlington Fire Department’s 9-1-1 Dispatch Center while keeping phone lines open for emergencies.
This can be accessed through the banner at the top of any City of Arlington webpage and also through the City’s free Ask Arlington app.
Residents may use this online reporting tool to report illegal fireworks activity and ongoing loud noises starting at 7 p.m. Friday, Dec. 31, 2022. Residents may also call the Arlington Fire Department’s non-emergency phone line at 817-274-4444 to report fireworks activity.
