Fireworks sales begin in Oregon with officials urging safety and legal use

Fireworks sales begin in Oregon on Monday, sparking reminders from officials about the importance of compliance with firework laws. The Oregon State Fire Marshal's Office, along with the Oregon State Police and Oregon Parks, will hold a press conference at 10 a. m. to promote safety. Residents are urged to practice safe behavior while enjoying fireworks, as misuse can result in fines or penalties.

The press conference seeks to inform the public about legal fireworks usage and fire safety protocols. Fireworks-related incidents can significantly affect local communities during summer celebrations. Last year, officials reported increased fire hazards due to improper firework handling. This year's initiative aims to reduce such risks and ensure a safe festive atmosphere. By educating the public, authorities hope to foster responsible fireworks use throughout the state.
