🚨 Fireworks restrictions and safety
Oregon law restricts where and what kind of fireworks can be used. Here is what to know before you light up.
Where fireworks are banned: State parks, ocean beaches, and all federal and state forest lands. Lands managed by the Douglas Forest Protective Association (DFPA) are also off-limits this season regardless of restriction level.
What is illegal: Firecrackers, M-80s, cherry bombs, Roman candles, bottle rockets, sky lanterns, and any aerial fireworks.
Penalties: Officials may seize fireworks and charge a class B misdemeanor, which carries a fine of up to $2,500 per violation and a civil penalty of up to $500. Those who cause damage may also be required to cover fire suppression costs.
If you do use fireworks legally: Clear the area of dry vegetation and flammable materials before lighting anything. A single ember can be enough to start a fast-moving wildfire, and the DFPA notes that fireworks are a leading cause of preventable wildfires over the holiday weekend.
