Celebrate Fourth of July and Protect Our Communities, Parks, and Forests – Leave Fireworks at Home
July 1, 2024 · Source: National Park Service
As we prepare to celebrate the Fourth of July, all are reminded that fireworks are prohibited in national parks and national forests. Forecasters predict an elevated risk for wildfires on the Olympic Peninsula in July, August, and September. Everyone is encouraged to practice campfire safety as unattended campfires are the number one source of human-caused wildfires on public lands. Currently, there are no fire restrictions in place in the Olympic National Forest or Park.
