Enjoy Independence Day along the Columbia River at one of Grant PUD’s recreation areas, but please leave your personal fireworks at home.
Personal fireworks are prohibited at all Grant PUD rec areas for everyone’s safety. That includes sparklers, volcanoes and anything sold at public fireworks stands around the region. Violators will be reported to local law enforcement.
Tinder-dry conditions mean even the smallest spark from a flicked cigarette or contact to area vegetation from a hot tailpipe or spent shell casing can ignite a wildfire with enough force to blacken hundreds of acres and threaten homes, families and livestock.
For complete information about the “do’s and don’ts” at Grant PUD recreation areas, visit 509river.org and click the “Park Rules” link.
The Columbia River is a beautiful place to celebrate our nation’s independence. But stay safe – and help us keep others safe – by leaving your personal fireworks at home.
