Fireworks Information for Celebrating a Safe Fourth of July Holiday

The Fourth of July is a time for citizens to celebrate the birth of our nation, the freedom that is associated with it and spend time with family and friends. As the metroplex prepares to celebrate our nation's independence, Keller Fire Rescue wishes to remind the citizens of Keller that all consumer fireworks are prohibited within the city limits. Even possession of fireworks is a violation of City Ordinance. Consumer fireworks are illegal because they are dangerous and cause considerable injuries to people and damage to property.

Are Your Kids Disengaged?

Are you fostering a disengagement in your children? In our stressed lives, it takes little effort to give in to the “wants” versus “needs” of our children. Have you noticed everyone seems to be plugged into something whether that be a cell phone to their ear or a gaming device in their hands, or spend their free time watching movies? What has happened to conversation and connecting to others?
