NEW

Electronic Reader Board

We recently received a $26,642.00 dollar grant from Fireman's Fund Insurance Company, Fireman's Fund Heritage program. We used the fund to purchase and install the reader board that now sits out in front of our station.

The reader board will allow us to notify our citizens of fire danger levels, fire prevention, public education, and other events that we will be having in our district. For more information on the Fireman's Fund Heritage program visit their web site at www.firemansfund.com

Fireworks Safety

Adult supervision around fireworks is important. Only adults should light fireworks and handle matches and lighters. Set family boundaries and talk with children about celebrating safely. Use care in selecting the area for discharge of fireworks, and the type of fireworks appropriate for that area. Weather conditions make grasses and other vegetation dry and vulnerable to fire.

Common fireworks that are permitted to be sold by Retailers within the unincorporated areas of Chelan County may be discharged within the unincorporated areas of Chelan County only on the following dates and times:

• Between the hours of 1:00 p.m. and 11:59 p.m. on July 3 and 4.
• Between the hours of 6:00 p.m. on December 31 and 1:00 a.m. on January 1.

Be prepared before you light fireworks

• Use legal fireworks, available at licensed outlets
• Store fireworks out of children's reach
• Keep pets safe indoors
• Always keep water handy

Be safe when lighting fireworks

• Only adults should light fireworks
• Only use outdoors
• Do not throw fireworks or hold in your hand
• Protect your eyes
• Light one firework at a time and move away quickly
• NEVER relight a "dude"

Be responsible after you finish

• Soak used fireworks in water
• Be considerate, clean up used fireworks
• Keep matches and lighters away from children
