The recent house fire in northwest Harris County attributed to improperly disposed fireworks is a stark warning to Magnolia residents, who often celebrate with fireworks during summer festivities. As the community gears up for future events, it's crucial for homeowners to take heed of the Cy-Fair Fire Department's advice to soak all used fireworks before disposal. This simple precaution can prevent devastating fires that not only damage property but also put lives at risk.
