Fireworks reminder

Help us keep Gresham safe. Illegal fireworks are banned in City parks, open spaces and neighborhoods. Police may confiscate them and issue fines up to $1,500. Please pick up your fireworks litter. Leaving it on the streets violates City code, clogs storm drains, pollutes streams and harms wildlife.
