Wolf Creek Residents Practice Firework Safety on July 4th?

7/1/2024 (Permalink)

We are leaders in fire damage restoration services in Lane County.

Our local South Eugene and Florence teams wish everyone in Lane County a Happy 4^th of July! In 2022, the Eugene City Council banned the use of fireworks due to the fire damage they impose on people and pets, making it unlawful to:

• Sell, use, light, detonate or display any “consumer” fireworks anywhere in the city at any time
• Use, light detonate or display any “display” fireworks anywhere in the city at any time except July 3 through July 5, unless specifically authorized by the City Manager or designee.

The City of Eugene allows some fireworks for consumer use and a list is provided on their website. If you do use fireworks at home, here are some safety tips for using them safely:

• Choose a place to light them that is away from buildings and flammable materials like grasses and dry leaves.
• Keep a bucket of water or a hose nearby for emergencies.
• Douse all expended fireworks with water to prevent trash fires.
• Never relight a “dud.” Soak it in water and throw it away.
• Supervise any activity involving fireworks.

There are many opportunities to enjoy public fireworks displays, including Springfield's Light of Liberty event, the Eugene Emeralds Baseball game, the Eugene Pro Rodeo, the Cottage Grove Speedway, Creswell and Historic Old Town Florence.
