Happy 4th of July! Whatever your plans are today, remember to celebrate safely. ✅ Practice firework safety. ✅ Be respectful of others. ✅ Be mindful of fires, grills, and activities that create sparks or heat. ✅ Keep pets and children away from fireworks and other hazards. ✅ Don't drive if you're feeling funny. Don't dive if you are tired, have been drinking, or are medicated. ✅ Know the address of where you are staying or celebrating so you can quickly call 911 if help is needed. ✅ Know when to call 911 versus when to call non-emergency dispatch. 911 should be used for emergencies (which includes immediate danger to life, limb, or property) and non-emergencies can be reported to the jurisdiction's dispatch. This document shares more on when and who to call. The second page lists non-emergency dispatch numbers: https://www.co.lincoln.or.us/DocumentCenter/View/2651/When-to-Call-911-and-Non-Emergency-Numbers-PDF?bidId= Our Administrative Offices are closed for the day, but our Patrol and Corrections Deputies are working their regular shifts.

HOW TO DISPLAY YOUR HOUSE NUMBER Having visible house numbers to identify your address is important for guests, mail delivery, and of course, emergency personnel. It is much harder for emergency responders to find your home if your house number is not clearly displayed. Depending on the lighting and placement, your house numbers may not be visible from the street, especially at night. A poorly placed number can cost precious time in an emergency. Consider the following guidelines to help increase visibility as you display your house number. On Your House 1. The number should be posted so that it is visible from both directions of street travel. 2. Trees, bushes, and other debris should not block visibility from the road. 3. Numbers should be placed above eye level, near the front door and well-lit at night. 4. Avoid placing numbers away from the front door such as above garage doors. On Your Mailbox 1. Remember to mark both sides and the front of your mailbox. Do not use your mailbox as the only means of identification for your house. Numbers on the mailbox door may be great for your mail carrier, but they can be difficult to be seen by drivers during an emergency. 2. The numbers on the mailbox need to be highly visible. Remember to use high-contrast stickers or paint when adding your numbers to the mailbox. White numbers on a black mailbox are a great choice for visibility. Shiny silver numbers on a black mailbox are NOT very visible. 3. Another high-visibility option is to mount a sign above or below the mailbox. Again, use contrasting colors such as white on black. 4. If your mailbox is not in front of your house or near your driveway, emergency responders cannot use this to locate you. To help emergency responders locate your house faster, place your house number on your house or on a signpost in your yard. Address Signs 1. The bigger, the better. The numbers should be at least four inches tall if displayed on a house or sign. Use boldface type that is wide. 2. Address signs should be placed about two feet from the driveway in the direction of the house. 3. Pick a color that will contrast with the background. If your house is a dark color, the address sign should be light so that the number stands out and can be viewed from the street. For example, a black number is perfect on a white house. A white number will also show clearly on a brick house. 4. Ensure the address sign is well-lit, especially at night. 5. Use caution with brass or bronze numbers as they are difficult to see on many backgrounds. Following these guidelines can save valuable time in the event of an emergency by allowing emergency responders to find your home faster. Help us help you!

We can't talk about fireworks and other activities without talking about fire prevention. Whatever your plans are for the upcoming holiday, remember to put safety first. Do not leave fires or grills unattended and be aware of activities that create sparks. Practice Fireworks Safety Fire Prevention: 🔥 Be aware of your surroundings and weather conditions. 🔥 Keep a bucket of water and a hose ready to respond if needed. 🔥 Make sure the area is clear of anything flammable such as debris, furniture, and grass or shrubbery. 🔥 Keep fireworks pointed away from buildings, greenery, and other areas that may catch fire. 🔥 Whether you are lighting fireworks yourself or watching an organized show, know the address so that you can quickly call 911 if a fire starts.Photos from Lincoln County Sheriff's Office - Oregon's post

An important reminder from our Forest Deputy Bruce McGuire: This firework was found on the 500 road along with another smaller firework. Both of these had been used in an area that is dry and have a great potential for a forest fire. This type of behavior in areas like these could be devastating for our community. Please do not take fireworks up into the woods to set them off. Actions like these cause roads into the woods to be gated to keep people from accessing them. In order to keep these roads open for everyone to enjoy the forest, please refrain from this type of activity. Your friendly neighborhood forest Deputy thanks you in advance.

Tip of the Week For the Week of June 30, 2025 Fireworks Safety Summer fun is officially here, and the Fourth of July is just around the corner. For many, fireworks are a sign of celebration, however, there are some important safety measures to consider. Fireworks, loud sounds, and bright, sudden flashes can trigger vets, pets, and people with PTSD. If you choose to use fireworks, remember to check for local ordinances and regulations, be considerate of others, consider the time of day and the location, and prioritize safety. Know the Difference and Consequences It is important to know the difference between a legal consumer firework and a dangerous explosive device. Illegal items in Oregon include any firework that flies into the air, explodes or behaves in an uncontrolled or unpredicted manner. Some examples include firecrackers, torpedoes, skyrockets, Roman candles, bottle rockets, or other items of similar construction and any item containing explosive or flammable compounds. Tablets or other devices containing explosive substances or flammable compounds are not legal in Oregon without a permit. Items such as M-80s, M-100s and blockbusters are not fireworks, they are federally banned explosives. They can cause serious injury or even death. Stay away from anything that isn't clearly labeled with the name of the item, the manufacturer's name, and instructions for proper use. Possession of illegal fireworks in Oregon is a Class B Misdemeanor punishable by a fine up to $10,000 and/or six months in jail. If you are aware of anyone selling such devices, contact your local law enforcement agency. All fireworks are prohibited in all state parks and on ocean beaches. Violations may be punishable by fine. General Firework Safety Read and follow all warnings and instructions on fireworks. Be sure that people maintain a safe distance from where fireworks are lit. Only light fireworks on a smooth, flat surface away from buildings, dry leaves, and flammable materials -never light and throw any fireworks. Never try to relight fireworks that have not fully functioned. Fireworks are not toys. NEVER give fireworks to children. Close adult supervision of all fireworks activities is mandatory, this includes sparklers. Pets are more sensitive to loud noises, flashing lights, and strong smells. It is best to leave your pets safely indoors, preferably with a radio or TV turned on to soften sudden noises. If you cannot leave your pet indoors, keep them leashed and under your direct control at all times. Keep your pet’s collar and ID tag on at all times and update your pet’s license with your current contact information in case they get separated from you. If you are traveling and plan to use fireworks, look up local ordinances that may be in place. Remember to save the address of where you are staying or using the fireworks in case you need to call 911. Fire Prevention Be aware of your surroundings and weather conditions. Areas are more prone to fires when the weather is warm and windy. Dry landscape greatly increases the likelihood of fire starting, not just from fireworks, but other activities that create sparks or flame. If you choose to use fireworks, make sure the area is clear of anything flammable such as debris, furniture, and grass or shrubbery. Keep fireworks pointed away from buildings, greenery, and other areas that may catch fire. Keep a bucket of water and a hose ready to respond if needed. Whether you are lighting fireworks yourself or watching an organized show, know the address so that you can quickly call 911 if a fire starts.

Tip of the Week For the Week of June 23, 2025 Sharing the road: Cyclists and Motorists Cycling has become more popular as a recreational activity and as alternative transportation. As the weather continues to get nicer and more cycling events come into season, expect to see more bicycles on the road and in shared community spaces. Both cyclists and motorists have responsibility to follow traffic laws and to take additional precautions to keep everyone safe. Bicycles on streets and highways are considered, by law, a vehicle, and are required to obey the rules of the road. This means they must follow the laws that apply to all vehicles and laws specific to cyclists. Weather, experience, and traffic can impact the safety of sharing the road. Using additional caution and patience can help keep our roads safer for everyone involved. Motorists should remember these tips: • When a cyclist has stopped and remains on their bicycle at an intersection or a traffic signal, they are to be treated as a vehicle waiting for their turn to proceed. • Be alert for small children on oversized bicycles. This may increase the likelihood for loss of control. • When passing a cyclist, go around them like you would pass another vehicle and leave plenty of room. • When you are preparing to make a right turn, watch for cyclists who may pull up alongside you. Remember to look over your shoulder to check your blind spots. • When pulling away from the curb, merging, or preparing to turn, check for cyclists who may be trying to pass. • When parked at the curb, check for cyclists before opening the vehicle door. It’s the driver's responsibility not to open the vehicle door into traffic. • Do not follow too closely behind cyclists. • Remember cyclists are entitled to make left turns in the same manner as other vehicles. • Be aware of roadway conditions that may affect a cyclist. • Weather such as fog or rain impact motorists and cyclists alike. Use additional caution in hazardous areas and during times of low visibility. • Do not sound your horn unnecessarily. If you must use your horn, tap it quickly and lightly while you are still some distance away from the cyclist. Cyclists should remember these tips while using streets and highways: • Riding against the flow of traffic is illegal and increases your risk of injury and death. • Cyclists are required to ride in bike lanes or paths when it is adjacent to the roadway with exceptions for right and left turns and to avoid hazards. • In areas without bike lanes, cyclists are required to ride as close as practicable to the curb, however they may need to adjust to avoid grates, potholes, debris, gravel, sand, wet or slippery surfaces, rutted or grooved pavement and other hazards. • Keep your hands on the handlebars except when making a hand signal. • Keep your feet on the pedals. • Do not carry more people on the bicycle than it was designed for. • Do not hold onto, attach yourself or the bicycle to any other moving vehicle. • Only ride side by side on the road with another cyclist when it does not impede other traffic. • If there is not enough room to pass safely, ride single file. • Ensure the bicycle is equipped with at least one white light to the front and a red light and or red reflector mounted on the rear of the bicycle. • Wear reflective clothing or gear. • Wear appropriate protective gear. • Ensure the bicycle has effective brakes. • Share your cycling plans with loved ones, include where you are going and when you are expected to return.
