Reminder: No Personal Fireworks In San Juan County
San Juan County’s emergency responders would like to remind everyone that personal fireworks are not allowed anywhere in our beautiful county. “Safe and Sane” fireworks sold on the mainland are intended to be used in the communities where they are purchased. Many of the fireworks sold on reservations are not legal anywhere in the state other than on Native American lands.
There will be several GREAT fireworks shows presented by professional pyro-technicians throughout San Juan County. Fireworks shows are planned at Roche Harbor, Friday Harbor, Eastsound, Deer Harbor and – the biggest one of all – on Lopez Island. Residents and visitors alike are encouraged to enjoy these spectacular shows.
The use of any type of personal fireworks presents a very real danger of injury and fire. The Sheriff’s Office and fire and EMS responders hope that everyone enjoys a fun – and safe – Independence Day celebration.
