FOURTH OF JULY SAFETY TIPS AND INFO FROM CBPD AND CBFD  
  
With the 4th of July tomorrow, just a couple simple reminders from the Coos Bay Police Department and Coos Bay Fire Department, we encourage everyone to remember the 4-B’s of safe fireworks use:  
  
•Be prepared before lighting fireworks: keep water available by using a garden hose or bucket.  
•Be safe when lighting fireworks: keep children and pets away from fireworks. Never use fireworks near or on dry grass or vegetation.  
•Be responsible after lighting fireworks: never re-light a dud. Please wait 15 to 20 minutes, then soak spent fireworks in a bucket of water before disposal.  
•Be aware: use only legal fireworks in legal places.    
  
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 issued by the state fire marshal. Fireworks commonly called bottle rockets, Roman candles, and firecrackers are illegal in Oregon without a permit. Officials may seize illegal fireworks and charge offenders with a class B misdemeanor which could result in a fine of up to $2,500. Those who misuse fireworks or allow fireworks to cause damage are liable and may be required to pay fire suppression costs or other damages. Parents are also liable for fireworks damage caused by their children.  
  
We wish everyone a safe and fun 4th of July and encourage community members to engage in the events happening throughout the city of Coos Bay.   
  
The City of Coos Bay show of fireworks is scheduled to take place at 10 p.m. on July 4th and can be seen from many different places in the downtown area.  Eastside Boat ramp is often a favorite spot for viewing the fireworks; however, reminder that fireworks are NOT allowed in the parking lot of the Eastside or Empire boat ramps.   
  
To reach dispatch, call 541-269-8911 ext. 1, or call 9-1-1 if you have an emergency. Featured News by City of Coos Bay
