The Dalles Declares Fireworks Ban Through July 9

The Dalles City Council voted unanimously on Monday to ban the use of fireworks within the city limits through July 9.  City Manager Julie Krueger said the emergency declaration is based on one that was passed by Bend in response to the current heat wave.  Councilors for the most part were in agreement with the move given the current high fire danger.  The Dalles Police Chief Tom Worthy has directed his department to educate offenders regarding the ban and seek voluntary compliance.  Violations of the emergency declaration calls for a fine that would not exceed $750.  Citizens may call the Police Department non-emergency line at 541-296-2613 to report violations.  State-permitted fireworks displays, such as the Fort Dalles Fourth display, are allowed to continue.
