Have you heard about the upcoming treatment plans for Vancouver Lake?
Phase 2 of the Vancouver Lake Management Plan will focus on treating the swimming area of Vancouver Lake Regional Park, targeting E. coli and Cyanobacteria (harmful algal blooms).
Learn more about Clark County's lake management plans in these recent articles by The Columbian newspaper:
Always have a bucket of water and water hose ready to douse any fire.
Assign a responsible adult to supervise fireworks use.
Use fireworks outdoors in a clear area away from buildings, vehicles and dry vegetation.
Never aim fireworks at people or structures.
Never attempt to alter fireworks or relight “duds” that fail to ignite.
Place used fireworks in a bucket of water to soak overnight before disposing of them. These devices can still be smoldering and could start a fire if placed in a trash receptacle
