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.

This is a much need addition for public safety. Widening or extra lane work would cost hundreds of time more.

Duane Wyman

Absolutely - due to traffic volume, a major safety concern and issue for all drivers‼️

T M

A two lane split with barriers needs installed from there to La Pine into Klamath County

Bobby Jo McGarry

Our son Micah Borden died right there Sept 29, 20222 i hate that part of the HWY. I also am not happy that you all didn't care when my 23 year old son died there but you all care so much now. It hurts badly.

SunnySunshinestein

I'm very sorry for your loss, I can't begin to imagine the pain of losing your child.

Our son Micah Borden died there in that same spot September 29,2022. Something needs to be done with that road. He was 23 and died on that road

Terri Knotts

Unfortunately I know too many people that have lost their lives on this death trap they call a highway. I am scared to death to drive hwy 97 with my family in my vehicle let alone myself driving to work.PLEASE do something before someone else's loved one is lost. Need dividers south end to the north

Duane Wyman

Absolutely, as traffic volume has increased dramatically! Also due to a need for more safety barriers or a different alignment or separation may be required from Madras to Redmoond. Too many unprotected left turn roads leads to unsafe following or stops❗️

Matt Stickler

How many more people need to die, before ODOT and the power 's at be on the west side if Oregon pay attention to the safety issues on the central Oregon stretch of Hwy 97! Shame on you!!! Highway 97 is a death trap and ODOT KNOWS IT!!!!

James Anderson

All of Oregon's are highways dangerous.. most passes are two lanes and obviously we have snow..and distracted drivers, which makes head on collisions more likely. I have no idea why there aren't at least road dividers to prevent head on's. Too many deaths...

LESLIE Wayt

It's like a bottleneck of traffic thru there. Every time I drive thru, the traffic is really heavy. But trying to cross the highway going west or east is impossible. I usually turn the way of traffic then Take next exit to turn around and go the way I need.
