I tend to buy fireworks every year. My family and I always try to be safe. It's a tradition for us on 4th of July.

Due to how dry everything is and the fact that I have common sense, I plan on being extra cautious this year with fireworks I purchase. There hasn't been an independence day I haven't celebrated yet in my 48 years, nor will there be one so long as I'm here.

No, not this year.

I will not be purchasing and or igniting fireworks this year. We are in an extreme drought and it's too dangerous.

NO and I do not think they should be sole, so many people are NOT responsible and it is too hot, way too hot and dry just asking for trouble. Like the kid a few years ago that started the big Columbia Gorge fire!

Carol Oatman

Never again! its childish.

I don't usually, and don't understand WHY they are being sold when they have been outlawed this year due to the high temps and fire danger. Why were fireworks even sold?? It will only encourage /allow rule-breakers and others who don't give a crap about anything but a few hours of entertainment.

Bruce Sharp

Never do.

tim collins

why I enjoy watching other peoples.

Debra Maffei

No one should be able to buy private fireworks anymore.

Kathy Farr

I believe that individual consumers shouldn't be able to buy fireworks....have believed this for decades.

Oakley Taylor

It is insane that we are allowing fireworks to be sold this years. Too many chances of mishaps by people that don't take proper precautions.

Leslie Ann

I CANT BELIEVE OREGON HAS THE NERVE TO SELL FIREWORKS!! We're already seeing wildfires now. Last year was devastating! We need to STOP the sale FIREWORKS, PERIOD!! The governor is so fricken strict about COVID but when it boils down to helping save Oregon, she is horrid!! Fire departments need to

Rick Allen

yes exactly!

Leslie Ann

Massachusetts bans ALL FIREWORKS, other states should stand up & ban them too!! Especially those who have major wildfires!!

Leslie Ann

FIRE departments need to protest, STOP ALL PERSONAL FIREWORKS IN THE STATE OF OREGON FOR GOOD!!

Alexa Garcia

Celebrating Fourth of July knowing that America is colonized, and people don’t accept it is the main reason. Another is consumerism. Finally, the earth is a heat ball. It’s dry. It is at risk. Last year, a couple of drunk folks launch fireworks at are yard and caught it on fire. All for a post. Nah.

Dianne Price

Too dry!!

Terree Putman

Never do we buy fireworks, they should be banned!!!

dapper dog

I have dogs and it is so miserable for them. I wish they were cancelled here as well as other spots.

Lynn Huntley

This dry and dire conditions for fire, they should be banned.

We should all be in favor of anything that creates a safer community for all of us, regardless of political affiliation. Since our federal funds have been decreased, we need another form of revenue to supplement our fire fighting revenue.

Yes, and do some more logging and cleaning the forest

Oakley Taylor

Do you not value trees and animals? Do you understand how precious the forest is for all of us? This is not a partisan issue. It's a matter of how we value life of all kinds, animal and humans alike. Please think about your words before speaking.

The federal budget deficit would be EASILY diminished if the Rs in Congress would vote to make the tax system fairer by making the top richest pay their fair share. But they won't. They'd rather take from the poor+ middle class and sale public lands vs. doing the obvious and fairest remedy!!

Oakley Taylor

Bravo!

Karen Thrower

It is a shameful idea. These lands belong to all of us, and are not for sale.

Oakley Taylor

True dat.

Scott Taylor

Hey, If Mike Lee wants to sell Utah's public lands, see how his constituents like it with theirs. Stay away from Oregon and the other states who don't like it. If Trump wants his big ugly bill to pass, reimburse the government for what the taxpayers pay for his golfing at his resorts + his parade.

Oakley Taylor

Yay to you!

Oakley Taylor

This would be a crime and one that is irreversible. If Trump needed the money so bad, maybe he shouldn’t have spent our hard-earned tax money on his birthday parade. I am a public land owner and I oppose this proposition. How dare Mike Lee try pulling off this crap on us. We’re not stupid.

Carol Yetter

Public lands are our heritage due to the foresight of great individuals. Only those interested in profiteering propose and support the rape of Oregon and public properties.

Oakley Taylor

So true.
