Fireworks explode over Wallowa Lake in 2013 / RC photo FIREWORKS Keep it Legal, Keep it Safe The Office of State Fire Marshal, Oregon fire service, Keep Oregon Green, natural resource agencies, Oregon fireworks whole salers, and safety experts encourage Oregonians to "Keep it Legal and Keep it Safe" when using fireworks. The 2016 Oregon fireworks sales season opens Thursday, June 23 and runs through Wednes day, July 6. The OSFM and their partners want everyone to know what fireworks are legal in Oregon, where they are permitted, and the important steps to take for fireworks safety. "People often forget that legal fireworks can only be purchased from Oregon permitted fireworks retailers and stands," says Chief Deputy State Fire Marshal Mariana Ruiz-Temple. "And, regulations limit where those fireworks may be used. For example, fireworks are prohibited on all Oregon beaches, in parks, and Gampgrounds." July 4th holiday forest visitors are advised to leave all fireworks at home. The use of fireworks is prohibited on all national forestland, and most other public lands. "Fireworks compound the threat to already dry forests," states Keep Oregon Green President Kristin Babbs. "Enjoy fireworks where they belong: on the pavement- safely away from houses, vehicles, and flammable vegetation." Oregon law bans possession, use, or sale of fireworks that fly, explode, or travel more, than six'feet on the ground or 12 inches into.. the air. Fireworks commonly called bottle rockets, Roman Candies, and firecrackers are ILLEGAL in Oregon. There were 227 reported fireworks-related fires in Oregon during 2015, resulting in 28 injuries and more than $423,000 in property damage. Over the past five years, from 2011 through 2015, there were 924 reported fireworks-related fires in Oregon resulting in one death, 161 civilian injuries, and more than $2.7 million in property damage. Officials may seize illegal fireworks and fine offenders up to $500 per violation. Those who misuse fireworks or allow fireworks to cause damage are liable and may be required to pay fire suppres sion costs or other damage. Parents are also liable for fireworks damage caused by their children. The OSFM encourages everyone to use the four B's of safe fireworks use: • Be Prepared before lighting fireworks: keep water available by using a garden hose or bucket. • Be Safe when lighting fireworks: keep children and pets away from fireworks. • Be Responsible after lighting fireworks: never relight a dud. Wait 15 to 20 minutes then soak it in a bucket of water before disposal. • Be Aware: use only legal fireworks and use them only in legal places.

Put soothing music on the radio or TV to keep pets calm and over-ride the sounds of the fireworks. 3. If you have a finished basement, put your pets downstairs where the sound will be less obvious and light flashes can’t be seen. 4. Give your pet a high reward treat or toy for distraction. If your pet is used to chewing raw meaty bones, this might be a goodtime to give ; them a fresh bone. You can also fill a Kong type toy with pumpkin or pureed food that has been frozen. 5. Put a few drops of lavender oil in a diffuser, as this oil is very soothing. • 6. If you need to take your pets outside for potty time, be sure they are on ■ a leash and in a secured yard.
