says Travis County would have needed a KBDI average of 575 or higher before June 15 to allow the move. As of June 13, the highest KBDI was 543 and the average was 435, so commissioners’ hands were tied during their June 14 voting session.

But how effective will a voluntary move be by just one retailer to stop selling a few types of fireworks?
“There are three major companies that account for 80% of the locations and an even higher percentage of sales,” says American Fireworks spokesperson Russ Rhea. “American Fireworks and the Texas Pyrotechnics Association are working with all vendors to achieve 100% compliance.” As Nieto notes, “The fire marshal has the ability to enforce any and all applicable laws within Travis County, including our current burn ban and the use of fireworks inside city limits.
