🎆 FIREWORKS AND FORESTS DON'T MIX. 🌲🔥
As we celebrate America's 250th Anniversary this Independence Day, let's remember that one spark can change everything.
Fireworks are a leading cause of preventable wildfires during the Fourth of July holiday. With warm temperatures and dry vegetation across the Douglas District, even a single ember can ignite a fast-moving wildfire that threatens lives, homes, and our forests.
🎇 Celebrate responsibly.
✔ Follow all local fire restrictions.
✔ Attend a public fireworks display whenever possible.
✔ Leave fireworks to the professionals.
✔ Help us protect the places we all enjoy.
Let's Keep Oregon Green.

The administrative offices of the Douglas Forest Protective Association will be closed to the public in observance of the Independence Day holiday on Friday, July 3, 2026,
🚒 Please note: Our mission doesn't stop for the holiday.
