no responses After inspecting the areas closest to where the fireworks are launched this morning (Kramer ballfields in downtown Kent), Kent’s Fire Chief has determined that enough rain has fallen in the last 24 hours to reduce the fire risk to a level where the Chief believes it can be safely managed so he has reversed his earlier decision to cancel the fireworks and they are back on for Saturday night, July 7th.
I believe that the State Fire Marshall has requested extra safety precautions this year that our Chief will work to put into place, e.g., larger safe zone around the launching area, which may mean spectators will have to adjust their favorite viewing spots accordingly.
So if you go to watch, please be patient with any safety changes, and keep your eye out for any rogue sparks!
