Tips on fireworks safety
The Fourth of July is quick-
ly approaching, which means
fireworks and celebration.
Here are some important tips to
remember to ensure a safe hol-
iday celebration.
It is extremely important to
know the difference between a
legal consumer firework and a
dangerous explosive device.
Illegal items in Oregon include
firecrackers, torpedoes, sky-
rockets, Roman candles,
bombs, rockets, wheels, col-
ored fires, fountains, mines,
serpents or any other article of
similar construction or any
article containing any explo-
sive or inflammable com-
pound.
Any tablets or other device
containing any explosive sub-
stances or inflammable com-
pound are also not legal in
Oregon without a permit. Items
such as M-80s, M-100s and
blockbusters are not fireworks,
they are federally banned
explosives. They can cause
serious injury or even death.
Stay away from anything that
isn't clearly labeled with the
name of the item, the manufac-
turer's name and instructions
for proper use.
All fireworks are prohibited
in all state parks and on ocean
beaches.
Possession of illegal fire-
works in Oregon is a Class B
Misdemeanor punishable by a
fine up to $10,000 and/or six
months in jail. If you are aware
of anyone selling such devices,
contact your local law enforce-
ment agency.
Fireworks are not toys.
Never give fireworks to young
children. Close, adult supervi-
sion of all fireworks activities
is mandatory. Even sparklers
can be unsafe if used improper-
ly.
Read and follow all warn-
ings and instructions on fire-
works. Be sure that people
maintain a safe distance from
where fireworks are ignited.
Never light and throw any fire-
works. Only light fireworks on
a smooth, flat surface away
from buildings, dry leaves, and
flammable materials. Never try
to relight fireworks that have
not fully functioned. Keep a
bucket of water handy in case
of a malfunction or fire.

for worthy causes.
“We invite Camp Florence
(a local youth correctional
facility) to come to our shows.
The idea behind that is to
introduce them to the arts and
help give them an appreciation
for something more positive,”
David said.
“Grace and Glorie” will
feature information on
Florence-area hospice care
and the team hopes to use a
dog from Oregon Coast
Humane Society for posters
for “Sylvia.” December may
see some form of food or toy
drive to go along with the
“fractured Christmas carols”
the Laurias have planned.
The theater seats 72 people
and is open for other groups to
rent for presentations,
rehearsals, showcases and
more. Vocal instructor Jason
Wood’s voice and piano stu-
dents recently performed
there.
