Utah Bans Fireworks Amid Wildfire Crisis

Utah Bans Fireworks Amid Wildfire Crisis

Published 22 hours ago
Description

Utah’s governor just slapped a July 2–5 fireworks ban statewide to fight wildfire danger—94% of the state’s in extreme drought. The state forester can now shut down fireworks even in cities, though local fire departments can approve safe zones for shows. With 354 fires burning 141,000 acres this year—75% human-caused—officials are cracking down hard. The ban overrides normal city limits rules, and they’ll monitor conditions to decide if more restrictions are needed for Pioneer Day later.
