EXTREME FIRE DANGER in Redmond This Fourth of July

Conditions are critically dry. Even a small spark can start a devastating fire. The safest way to celebrate: skip personal fireworks and attend the professional show at the Deschutes County Fairgrounds. Dispose of unwanted fireworks (legal or illegal) at any Redmond fire station. Illegal fireworks carry serious consequences: fines up to $1,500 (or $6,000 for repeat offenses), possible jail time, charges for fire damage and response costs, criminal charges, and insurance may NOT cover damages from illegal activity. Even sparklers burn at 1,200 degrees, hot enough to ignite dry vegetation instantly. Oregon law prohibits fireworks that fly, explode, or travel across the ground more than 6 feet or rise more than 12 inches, including bottle rockets, Roman candles, firecrackers, and M-80s. Do NOT call 911 for fireworks complaints. Keep 911 open for emergencies. Report concerns: reportfireworks@redmondoregon.gov Non-emergency dispatch: 541-693-6911 This is not a normal year. Fire risk is extreme. Celebrate responsibly and protect Redmond.
