Fireworks:
Be careful
By Jim Cornelius
As the nation
watches vast sections of Western forests engulfed in firestorms, fire professionals
are urging caution in the use of legal fireworks during the Fourth of July
holiday.
Fireworks are banned in National
Forests and in most rural subdivisions around Sisters. Residents and visitors
should check with their homeowners' associations before using any fireworks.
Fireworks are still legal
in the City of Sisters, but Sisters Fire Chief Don Rowe warns users to
be extremely careful in their use.
"Every year we get fires
and injuries from fireworks --even the so-called safe ones," Rowe said.
Rowe recommends using fireworks
only in non-combustible areas such as on concrete or on expansive lawns.
Keep a bucket on hand to douse
hot materials and be extra careful lighting the fireworks.
