HR Council Passes Fireworks Ordinance

The Hood River City Council has approved an ordinance to restrict when fireworks can be sold and used.  Under the ordinance, the sale of consumer fireworks will be allowed only from June 23 to July 7, and discharge of fireworks will be allowed from November 16 to July 14.  Even during the time period fireworks would be allowed, Mayor Paul Blackburn says the ordinance gives the fire chief the discretion to ban their use if fire danger warrants it.  Councilors had planned to pass the ordinance two weeks ago, but asked staff to do some final language revisions before taking action.
