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.

The Oregon government and local police force has done a HORRIBLE job at keeping crime down, protecting cities, citizens and federal agents. If they can't do their job, TRUMP WILL.

Mike OConnor

Oh yeah, Trump did a great protecting when he incited the riot at the Capital on January 6th. Then had the unmitigated gall to pardon his MAGA idots for their crimes. What a guy...

Trump's a big man-baby... needs to get his own house in order before sticking his nose in our business...and what's -her -name is just a mouthpiece...no original thought on anything...

k san

ARE YOU KIDDING WITH THIS QUESTION?? Everyone knows his characterization of what is happening in Portland is complete fiction!!!

Mike OConnor

I usually spend a number of days each month in the Portland area, including downtown. Having worked in downtown Portland for many years, yes it's not what it once was. Having said that, it's definitely not a "war zone" and nothing like Trump and his minions would like you to think.

Richard Martinson

A bunch of crap from the Trump administration that hopes to incite a violent response that justifies the use of violence and military action. Illegal, immoral, and unconstitutional. Get them out!

Jim McAllister

Because the exaggeration of conditions in Portland, LA, memphis and Chicago is nowhere near the actual events. He and his henchpeople including traitor dereamer are only creating a reason to occupy american cities and attack the democrats.

Lexus Maximus

It’s a very small minority that’s causing a problem and for the most part, the marches are peaceful and none-combative. Portland’s problems, generally speaking; are the homeless sleeping on the streets and trashing the area, and not people marching in the streets.
