Fireworks

​Fireworks are defined as a low explosive pyrotechnic device. In the State of Oregon, the sale and display of fireworks are regulated by the Oregon State Fire Marshal, specifically the Regulatory Services Division – Licensing and Permits Unit.

Illegal fireworks should be reported to your local law enforcement agency via their non-emergency number.
