Fireworks Safety

Fireworks can add excitement to Fourth of July and New Year's Eve celebrations, but it’s important to be respectful of your neighbors while having fun.  The Fire Department asks you to communicate your plans and be mindful of your neighbor’s property.  Clean up all debris and dispose of it properly.

Please Remember

1. Only purchase fireworks from locally permitted, Washington state-licensed stands.
2. In the city of Washougal, only Safe and Sane fireworks are legal for sales and use.
3. The use of illegal fireworks, or discharging fireworks outside of the legally permitted dates and times may result in a fine and possible confiscation of your fireworks. The penalties, applicable in both Camas and Washougal start at $250 for the first offense, increasing to a $500 fine for a second offense, $750 for a third offense, and $1,000 for each subsequent offense within a three-year period.
