News Release
AFD Fourth of July Response - 07/01/20

Fourth of July is a celebratory time.  Albany Fire wants you to have a safe holiday for your family and for your community.  

  1. Keep your fireworks legal.  Illegal fireworks are a fire risk and can stress the mental health of your neighbors and pets.
  2. Light one firework at a time and keep all children at a safe distance.
  3. Keep a water bucket and a charged garden hose ready.
  4. Never relight unburnt fireworks.
  5. Be courteous.  Lighting fireworks late at night can cause unnecessary strain on your relationship with your neighbors and community.  
  6. Wear a mask if you cannot maintain six feet of physical distance.

Albany Fire will again collaboratively respond to firework complaints with Albany Police Department while we also assist Linn County Sheriff's Office in Millersburg with firework related calls.  If illegal fireworks are present, Albany Fire Department will be confiscating them.   APD and LCSO can and may cite individuals.  

Leaving 911 lines open for priority emergencies is important.  Please use the following non-emergency lines for illegal firework complaints:

            Albany Police Department 541-917-7680

            Linn County Sheriff’s Office 541-967-3950
