Camas to vote on fireworks ordinance

Camas City Council members agreed this week at their Monday, Nov. 15 workshop to bring an ordinance back to council in December that would give the fire chief the ability to ban the discharge and sales of fireworks during periods of extreme fire danger. 

Under the proposed ordinance, the fire chief would be able to ban the sale and discharge of fireworks in Camas during a “period of hot, dry weather, accompanied by low fuel moistures (when) wildland fires can be expected, and fire growth will be accelerated.”
