VANCOUVER — With the Fourth of July approaching, the Vancouver Fire Department would like to remind residents that it is illegal to use, possess or sell fireworks of any kind within the Vancouver city limits. If you are unsure if you live with the city limits of Vancouver, use the Do You Live in Vancouver map to find out.
The city’s ban is on all fireworks, including Class C “safe and sane” fireworks like sparklers, fountains, ground-spinning fireworks and smoke balls. It is also illegal to buy fireworks elsewhere and then transport them into the city.
Violators may be cited, with the minimum fine starting at $500.
This Fourth of July weekend, please call (360) 597-7888 to report the illegal use of fireworks.
Help first responders prioritize preserving lives and property by only calling 9-1-1 to report if you witness or see something on fire or if there is a medical or life-threatening emergency.
