Harris County Fire Marshal Laurie Christensen warns New Year's revelers to keep their guns holstered or face criminal charges. She also encouraged fireworks safety to keep both users and viewers safe.Spectators who gathered Friday evening at Second Baptist Church ended up getting more fire and brimstone than they might have been expecting, after a fireworks display ignited a 3-acre brush fire.
"Grasses are very dry over parts of the area and will burn easily and fast," county meteorologist Jeff Lindner tweeted, after news of the brush fire surfaced."Use extreme caution this weekend with any outdoor sparks or flames." County officials enacted a burn ban earlier this week, reflecting the ongoing drought and the heightened possibilities of brush fires. But firefighters have responded to scores of outdoor brush fires in recent weeks, far more than they might during non-drought conditions, she said.
Firefighters have also responded to increasing numbers of brush fires caused by discarded cigarettes, she said, referencing a recent blaze near Hockley, and even a few instances where people who were mowing their lawns inadvertently started fires when their mowing equipment sparked.The fire comes just days after authorities here enacted a"burn ban.
