Oregon Fireworks

In Oregon the only fireworks the public may buy and use are consumer fireworks — cone and cylindrical fountains, flitter sparklers, ground spinners, illuminating torches, wheels and other items of 500 grams or less that the State Fire Marshal approves by rule — plus exempt items such as novelties, trick noisemakers and small smoke devices (ORS 480.111, 480.120). The State Fire Marshal lists sky lanterns, missiles, rockets, firecrackers, cherry bombs, M-80s, Roman candles and bottle rockets as illegal.

In Oregon, consumer fireworks may be sold to the public only by holders of a State Fire Marshal retail sales permit, only from June 23 to July 6, and only the consumer fireworks the law defines — fountains, flitter sparklers, ground spinners, illuminating torches, wheels and items the State Fire Marshal approves by rule (ORS 480.111, 480.120, 480.127). Cities and counties may prohibit sales (ORS 480.160).
