The Lewisville Police Department took to social media with a stark reminder for the community as 2025 approaches, the city has a strict no-fireworks policy. A recent post from the Lewisville Police Department's Facebook page outlines the ordinance and informs residents that any celebration involving fireworks is to be avoided in the interest of safety.

The Lewisville Police Department's announcement was clear and to the point, "All fireworks are PROHIBITED in Lewisville," a move meant to keep the peace and ensure a safe transition into the new year. Officials also stressed that the emergency lines should remain open for urgent needs only, advising, "DO NOT call 911 to report fireworks." Instead, they provided a non-emergency number, 972.219.3640, where fireworks can be reported.

The prohibition isn't just a plea from the police; it's inscribed in local law. The full ordinance details can be found via the link provided in their social media statement, an invitation for citizens to inform themselves about the legalities and specifics of the fireworks ban.
