Warm Springs Tribal Council is asking the community to use caution with fireworks. They ask that everyone utilize one of two locations for fireworks displays: the Community Center and the Simnasho Long House Parking lot. Please do not light fireworks at other locations due to the high temperatures, lack of water, and a high potential for fire due to extreme dryness and drought. A safe and happy 4th is the goal – Let’s all stay hydrated and do our part in keeping the community safe.
