Current conditions present a very real, immediate threat of fire. The city encourages all individuals and businesses to refrain from any and all activities that could cause sparks or flame: don’t flick cigarette butts out of windows, watch lawn mowers for sparks, check safety tow chains on trailers, and avoid parking on grassy areas—catalytic converters under cars can get really hot and start fires.

This situational ban on fireworks within White Salmon city limits is only in effect for July 4, 2023 from 9a-11pm. Fireworks are otherwise prohibited in city limits except for the annual days of December 31 and July 4.
