The City of Pearland's Fire Marshal would like to take a moment to remind Pearland residents that open burning and the use of fireworks is strictly prohibited within the city limits of Pearland and the surrounding Pearland ETJ. This includes all areas normally serviced by the Pearland Fire Department within Brazoria County. Due to extreme drought conditions through the summer, a large amount of dead vegetation has accumulated in our area. This has increased the potential for grass and woodland fires. The use of prohibited fireworks or open burning in these areas is a class C misdemeanor which can carry a fine of up to $2,000 dollars per violation.
If you have any questions regarding this Advisory or need to know if you are in an area affected by this ban, please contact the Pearland Fire Marshal's Office at 281-652-1954. If you need to report an open burning or firework incident, please contact the Pearland Police Department dispatcher at 281-997-4316.
