Our area is getting warmer and drier by the year, and the idea of 'playing with fire' is way too dangerous!

Besides the fire danger I am a Viet Nam vet and after my last tour I had PTSD and the fire works would really set me off so now I still go tp bed on the 4th with ear plugs in.

Yes, to not ban fireworks when the conditions are so right for fires to burn and destroy homes from people who are just careless and inconsiderate warrants a ban. Allow profession fireworks, see the show, celebrate. Just humans being typically irresponsible specially when conditions are bad.

Mike Everstone

I'd rather my home didn't burn to the ground than light a couple sparklers.

Deb Kizer Dyck

I think we can do without a little pleasure for the sake of less fires and the public's health.

Rick Allen

Yes fireworks have always been a problem, causing fires and injuries, not to mention noise pollution for people who go to bed early. With the fire danger in our area, I think it is terribly irresponsible to allow any fireworks in any county!!! Ban them! Ban them ALL!

Vernon Budd

Yes people these days have no common sense

Amber Chan

I would support it, but it's pretty useless if police won't enforce it.

Leslie Ann

Times are changing. People need to change with it.

We need to be good little puppets. We need to go to work pay taxes and go home and close the door behind us. Get up and do it again. NOTHING ELSE!

Illegal fireworks cause most issues - and they're already illegal! Oregon's tame fireworks, if handled properly, pose little risk.

I am tired of government trying to turn us into little puppets.

Latterdaysaint

This is ridiculous, that what independence day is all about is the fireworks, how about doing some forest management to prevent wildfires

CCare

Actually Independence Day is about freedom not fireworks

Brad Livsey

ABSOLUTELY.......NOT!!! Just one more unfounded government restriction mandated without a people's vote!!!!!!!

Christena

If people would be more caustious and follow the current rules and regulations regarding fireworks we wouldn't have as much of an issue. Having small fireworks in the driveway and kids with sparklers is a huge fire hazzard especially if you're paying attention and have a hose ready just in case.

I don’t support the idea of a community living within my community that doesn’t have to abide by the laws and litters carelessly. Along with supporting a community that isn’t contributing to ours in any positive manner, using up costly resources.

J&jmediagroup

If I had any say in the matter at all, it would be.... If a person doesn't want to put any effort into improving there life, I don't want a single cent of this communities tax dollars going to help them. Its an absolute waste! Those people just wanna do drugs and avoid any of life's responsibilities
