Fireworks are part of the fun on the Fourth, and Hillsboro Police and Hillsboro Fire & Rescue (@hillsborofire) want everyone to enjoy them safely and legally. Before you light anything, know the difference. In Oregon, legal fireworks stay on the ground and do not explode. Fountains, sparklers, and ground spinners can all be used without a permit. Anything that flies, explodes, or behaves unpredictably, like bottle rockets, Roman candles, and firecrackers, is illegal without a permit from the State Fire Marshal. If you are celebrating with legal fireworks, keep it safe: - Keep a bucket of water or a charged hose close by. - Light one at a time, on a hard surface, away from people, pets, and buildings. - Never try to relight a dud. Soak it in water instead. - Soak all used fireworks in water before throwing them away. Fireworks are not allowed in state parks, on beaches, or on state and federal forest lands, and some areas have local restrictions, so always check before you celebrate. Using illegal fireworks is a crime. They can be seized, and misuse can bring fines of up to $2,500, plus responsibility for the cost of any fire they cause. To report illegal fireworks use, call non-emergency dispatch at 503-629-0111. Please save 911 for true emergencies. Have a safe and happy Fourth of July, Hillsboro.
