2A | SATURDAY, JUNE 15, 2019 | SIUSLAW NEWS On The Record OBITUARY Oregon State Fire Marshal gives firework safety tips The Office of State Fire Marshal, Oregon Fire Service, natural resource agencies, Oregon licensed fireworks wholesalers and safety experts encourage Oregonians to “Keep it Le- gal and Keep it Safe” when using fireworks. The 2019 Oregon fire- works retail sales season opens June 23 and runs through July 6. “To help inform Orego- nians about the safe and legal use of fireworks in Oregon before legal fireworks sales begin, our office has pre- pared fireworks safety and education materials,” said Mark Johnston, assistant chief deputy fire marshal. “The downloadable items will help Oregonians un- derstand what fireworks are legal to use in Oregon with- out a permit, where they are permitted to be used, and the important safety steps to take when using fireworks. We want Oregonians to share this information with their friends, families, and neighbors.” The OSFM will also reach out to its fire service and other partners to share the information on their so- cial media sites. OSFM’s fireworks materials can be found on its website, www. oregon.gov/osp/programs/ sfm/Pages/Fireworks.aspx- #education. The OSFM encourages everyone to use the four BEs of safe fireworks use: • Be prepared before light- ing 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 dis- posal. • Be aware: use only legal fireworks and use them only in legal places. The OSFM website also features FAQs for common- ly answered questions about the sale and legal use of con- sumer fireworks, permits for the retail sale of fireworks, and state rules for their use and enforcement activities. Remember, officials may seize illegal fireworks and charge offenders with a class B misdemeanor, which could result in a fine of up to $2,500 per violation and a civil penalty of up to $500. Those who misuse fireworks or allow fireworks to cause damage are liable and may be required to pay fire sup- pression costs or other dam- age. Parents are also liable for fireworks damage caused by their children. Despite their regulated sale and use, fireworks in Oregon represent a public safety and health threat ev- ery year. For the last report- ed five years through 2018, there were 1,264 reported fireworks-related fires in Oregon, resulting in more than $3.5 million in prop- erty damage. During that same period, fires resulting from fireworks resulted one death and 26 injuries. GILBERT—Jeff Gilbert, age 58, of Florence passed away June 8, 2019.
