I understand the County Commissioners considered a ban of fireworks in Jefferson County, but is possibly having the Fire District police this proposed ban in 2023. I am not aware of
the final outcome of this proposal.
If it is truly going into effect in 2023, I am requesting exemption for the Annual(20+) 4th of July fireworks show I put on .
I feel every precaution necessary is taken to provide a safe venue for the show. A professional pyrotechnician purchases the fireworks, all class “B” (like those sold by the Tribes
every year) in Montana, they are legally transported to my property, loaded onto a barge which is then anchored offshore from my property on Port Townsend Bay in Lower Hadlock. The
fireworks are then ignited remotely from shore at dark.
Our whole community enjoys watching, whether from the “Green spot”, the Alcohol Plant, their boats(but not too close, tho), Lower or Upper Hadlock or Irondale.
For the above reasons, if a ban in in place, I request an exemption or special permit so I might continue to provide a safe and beautiful fireworks show for my guests and our community’s
enjoyment.
Hoping you all had a wonderful Christmas Holiday and are looking forward to a Happy New Year.
Sincerely,
Duke Shold
