Washington County asked to voluntarily restrict use of fireworks
Those celebrating the upcoming holiday weekend are asked to restrict the unsafe use of fireworks in light of recent record-breaking heat and widespread drought conditions.

The County is working with emergency responders to send a strong message that our community has suffered enough under the weight of the coronavirus pandemic, September wildfires and extreme weather conditions.

Do not call 9-1-1 to report fireworks use. The 9-1-1 system needs to be available for reporting only active fires, serious medical problems and crimes in progress. To report the use of illegal fireworks - those that explode or fly into the air - call non-emergency dispatch at 503-629-0111 and be prepared to provide the appropriate address. Read the full media release
