Camas marks first Fourth of July with new fireworks laws

In the wake of concerns about fireworks misuse and noise, in May 2011 the Camas City Council approved an ordinance with a more restrictive discharge and sale policy.

Because the law didn’t take effect until one year from the day it was approved, the upcoming Fourth of July holiday will be the first under the new rules. Deputy Fire Marshal Randy Miller said he has been working to get the word out.
