Fireworks law in local areas

• The city of Coulee Dam forbids fireworks year round.

• No fireworks will be allowed in Grand Coulee this July 4 because of a federal ban on them in the only normally designated spot: North Dam.

• Elmer City, being on the Colville Reservation, follows tribal code. The Elmer City Council June 24 discouraged any fireworks use. “Fire danger is high this year,” states a draft letter to their citizens that addresses fire danger and fireworks.

• Last year, fireworks were only allowed on the reservation at East Side Park in Omak and Round Lake in Inchelium, as was decided by the Colville Business Council. The CBC has not designated allowed areas this year.

• Electric City follows state law, which allows the discharge of fireworks from noon to 11 p.m. from June 28 until July 4, when they’re allowed from noon to midnight.
