It makes zero sense to have humans running around with fire creating devices when Mother Nature is doing an excellent job of starting too many fires on her own.

It is always at a time when there is great fire Danger in our Area, I support permanent Ban on all fireworks, have a nice Parade instead and a Picnic in the Drake Park or other parks, with ball games and watermelon!

Yes, the weather, but July 4th is OVER! There is no reason for random fireworks, especially during such dangerous weather.

It's extremely annoying listening to sudden pops of explosions all times of the day, not to mention it goes on for days. People with PTSD and animals certainly don't need this too add to their anxiety. I've also noticed illegal fireworks from WA growing and what about air pollution? GET RID OF THEM!

For the sake of Veterans with PTSD and for the sake of pets it should be permanently banned. The 4th is not for celebrating fireworks, Its for celebrating break from British rule and the Veterans and minute men that fought for it. Ironic that the way we celebrate it triggers PTSD in Veterans.

This ban should be permanent. No more fireworks for personal use. If you don't like it, move. We Central Oregonians do not like wild fires. Save our forest, personal property and wildlife. This is a major step towards it.

Fire danger is still extreme. A permanent ban would be a good thing.

Not everyone is irresponsible with fireworks. I dont see anything wrong with letting off some fireworks in the street, like the past 27 years I've been alive.......

I work at Lowe’s part time and I straight up got lost the first time. I’ve been so used to just going straight down 97 and before I knew it I was on my way to Redmond. To not be late for work I had to pull a u-turn and I’ve seen lots of people doing the same which is unsafe. There is no signage

Whoever designs these highway changes needs to go back to school. The bypass in Redmond was stupid too. And I really dislike the round abouts everywhere, especially the area coming from Sisters to Bend. I do like the artwork, but you only get a few seconds to enjoy it or have an accident.

bend already has a costco. the number of businesses that became instantly inaccessible by adding 6 miles of additional, unnecessary drive time is both disturbing and concerning. not to mention the amount of u-turning happening on a busy highway as a result.

Both my 6 year old cat and my nine Month old shepherd mix had no problem. The pup Rowdy tried to jump into the sky and play with the pretty lights.
