Do you support the ban on firework sales?
Yes, I support it!
No, I don't support it!
Correct me if I am wrong, but aside from making Karens and dogs a little uptight, fireworks in Bend have been relatively harmless fun. Cigarettes and rechargeable batteries seem to burn more houses down in the 20+ years I've been here.

Fireworks represent the many men and women that died holding the American Flags Rampart in place during the Brittish boming our Fort from the seas. It would be a disgrace to them and all who serve our Country for our freedom, and their service.

We are a dog and wildlife filled town in the middle of a historic drought. Fireworks are harmful to many in the community (animal and human), not to mention the most important point: they are a major fire risk (hence their name). There are better ways to enjoy holidays and celebrate with friends…
ReplyYes but it should be all of Deshutes county. Fireworks have always been a problem everywhere, people hurt, houses burned, Many people are irresponsible and careless,
ReplyFireworks severely affect animals and Veterans with PTSD. People seem to have this idea that the Fourth of July is to celebrate fireworks. NO! The Fourth of July is to celebrate our independence from Britain.
ReplyI feel the idea of maintaining a tradition, merely for the sake of being a sense of patriotism is anachronistic. There are other ways of showing patriotism that don't pose a potential danger to our environment or threat of bodily injury. The idea of "blowing s#!t" up because it's our right is dumb.
ReplyWeather patterns have changed resulting in increased risk of fire in our region. If the patterns should change reducing the fire risk in future, the law could be relaxed or eliminated.
ReplyI would rather my house not be burned down than being able to set off firework's.
ReplyWith climate change and the miss use of fireworks this is an appropriate step. The argument of moving the sale out of town, that use will occur out of town posing more danger to the public is the very reason not just a City of Bend occur but State wide should be implemented. It only take one spark!
