Wasco County Commissioners this morning declared an emergency ban on the use of personal fireworks in unincorporated areas of the county effective immediately due to what they called “unprecedented weather and drought conditions.”  Commissioner Steve Kramer made the motion to put the ban in place, saying before the unanimous vote the Wrentham Fire convinced him of the need to take action, especially after they had already made drought and burn ban declarations.  Commission Chair Scott Hege said his hope is to raise awareness of the current fire threat level to citizens so they are compliant with ban which will run through July 14.  Wasco County joins the cities of The Dalles, Hood River, and White Salmon, who all in recent days have enacted fireworks bans.  The Hood River County School District issued a statement reminding citizens fireworks are not allowed on school grounds.
