Looking for fireworks? Now is your chance to buy in Oregon.
Meanwhile, state officials Monday urged fireworks users to keep their Independence Day festivities safe and legal.
Retail fireworks sales began Monday, June 23 and continue through July 6. In Springfield, the purchase and use of certain types of fireworks is legal. Within the city limits of Eugene, however, all use and sales are banned. Some retail stores are allowed to carry “exempt consumer fireworks” and “novelties.”
Fireworks stands can operate in unincorporated areas of Lane County. TNT Fireworks has one stand location in Eugene, at 86623 Franklin Blvd E., on the east side of Interstate 5 near exit 189.
TNT Fireworks also sells branded novelty items in many grocery stores in Eugene, like Albertsons, Walgreens, Fred Meyer and others.
Springfield has three TNT Fireworks stands on Pioneer Parkway, Olympic Street and Main Street.
Another prominent vendor in Springfield is Factory Fireworks Outlet, which has five locations in Springfield on Olympic Street, International Way, West Centennial Boulevard and two on Main Street. The company also serves Junction City and Veneta.
Meanwhile, the Oregon State Fire Marshal reminded people Monday to check local rules and restrictions on both the sale and use of fireworks, whether they’re celebrating at home or traveling.
“Before lighting any fireworks, make sure you know what’s allowed where you are,” Oregon State Fire Marshal Mariana Ruiz-Temple said.
Fireworks may not be used on:
- Public lands and parks.
- National parks and forests.
- Bureau of Land Management lands.
- U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service properties.
- Oregon state beaches, parks, and campgrounds.
- Private lands protected by the Oregon Department of Forestry.
To help reduce the risk of fire and injury, fire officials urge Oregonians to follow the four B’s of safe fireworks use:
- Be prepared: Have a bucket of water or a hose nearby.
- Be safe: Keep children and pets at a safe distance. Never use fireworks near dry grass or other flammable materials.
- Be responsible: Do not relight duds. Soak used fireworks in water before disposal.
- Be aware: Use only legal fireworks and only where they are allowed.
Oregon law prohibits the possession, use, or sale of any fireworks that fly into the air, explode, or travel more than 12 feet horizontally on the ground without a permit from the state fire marshal. This includes items such as bottle rockets, Roman candles, and firecrackers.
Violations are a Class B misdemeanor, with a maximum fine of $2,500. Those who misuse fireworks or are found to be responsible for them causing damage may be held financially responsible for fire suppression and other costs. Parents can also be held liable for damage caused by their children.
