The Board wishes all Thousand Oaks residents a happy and safe Independence Day! As you make holiday plans, we want to share a few reminders about fireworks — especially since our townhomes, parked cars, and shared spaces sit close together.
Know what's legal. In Prince William County, only fireworks on the Virginia State Fire Marshal's Approved Permissible List may be used, and only on private property. These are ground-based items such as sparklers, fountains, and pinwheels. Anything that explodes, shoots into the air, travels sideways, or throws sparks more than 12 feet is illegal here — and possession or use is a Class 1 Misdemeanor carrying fines up to $2,500. If you have illegal fireworks (or guests bring them from another state), you can surrender them with no questions asked by calling the PWC Fire Marshal's Office at 703-792-6360. Never put them in the trash.

If you do use permissible fireworks, please be a good neighbor:
-
Choose an open, level surface like the center of a parking area — well clear of homes, fences, mulch beds, and especially parked vehicles. In our close quarters, a stray spark can reach a car or a neighbor's siding in seconds.
-
Designate one sober adult to light everything, one item at a time. Children should never light fireworks, even sparklers, without close adult hands-on supervision.
-
Keep a bucket of water and a charged hose or fire extinguisher within reach. Drop every spent device into the water before disposal.
-
Never relight a "dud." Wait at least 15 minutes, then soak it.
-
Keep kids and pets back from both lit and spent fireworks, and check the area for hours afterward — spent devices stay hot and can smolder.
-
Be mindful of the late hour and our neighbors' pets; please wrap up at a reasonable time.
The safest option is to leave it to the pros. Consider enjoying one of the area's professional public displays — they're free, spectacular, and carry none of the risk to our homes and vehicles.
Have a wonderful and safe holiday!
— The TOTA Board
