FRANKLIN COUNTY, Wash. – As the 4th of July approaches, residents in unincorporated Franklin County are reminded that all fireworks, including ground spinners and aerial rockets, are banned.
The county is emphasizing safety, noting that fireworks can lead to out-of-control fires that might destroy property or cause injuries.
Given Franklin County’s complex map, with unincorporated areas surrounded by city limits, county officials said it can be confusing to determine where fireworks are allowed.
Residents unsure of their area’s status are encouraged to call 509-547-9306 for clarification.
For those looking to enjoy fireworks safely, professional displays at Gesa Stadium and the River of Fire at Columbia Park are recommended.
