Lighting and watching fireworks can be fun and exciting, but the Corvallis Fire Department is encouraging the community to remember that even legal fireworks can be dangerous and unpredictable. Therefore, extreme caution should always be used when lighting fireworks. If you choose to use locally-purchased and legal fireworks, ensure that you buy them from a licensed vendor at either a temporary stand or retail outlet. Choosing to import or use illegal fireworks or to modify legal fireworks can be dangerous and will result in significant fines up to $500.
