Fireworks regulations in the city of Battle Ground allow the use of fireworks for two days over the Independence Day Holiday
As you begin to plan your Fourth of July celebrations residents are encouraged to be prepared, be safe, be responsible, and equally as important be considerate.
Fireworks regulations in the city of Battle Ground allow the use of fireworks for two days over the Independence Day Holiday – July 3 from 9 a.m.-11 p.m. and July 4 from 9 a.m.-midnight. By adhering to these permitted hours, firework users can enjoy the excitement and merriment of their fireworks while those that do not prefer fireworks can know when to expect firework discharge and are able to prepare accordingly.
Fireworks stands are permitted to operate in the city from July 1 through July 4. Permitted stands are regularly inspected by the Fire Marshal. Fireworks should only be purchased from permitted stands; those purchased outside of the city or Clark County’s jurisdictions may not be safe or legal to use.
Regulations for the sale and use of fireworks vary in individual municipalities within Clark County, including unincorporated Battle Ground. An online interactive map allows the public to easily determine fireworks use regulations based on any street address within Clark County.
Firework Call Center
Clark Regional Emergency Services Agency (CRESA) will staff a fireworks and nuisance call center from July 1 & 2 from 8–10 p.m.; and July 3 & 4 from 8 p.m.–1a.m. Callers should refrain from calling 9-1-1 and/or 3-1-1 for fireworks violations.
Only call 9-1-1 if:
