Have A Happy 4th - Be Safe With Fireworks
We wish you all a safe and enjoyable
4th of July. We hope you can savor time with those you love, enjoy
the beauties of this wonderful land and remember the spirit of
American independence.
See our events guide for activities
near where you will be traveling.
Remember to observe the laws regarding
use of fireworks. Fire danger is high in Utah but, so far, we have
not had devastating wildfires this year. With your help we can avoid
problems over the holiday.
Fireworks are always prohibited in
National Parks, National
Forests and other federally-controlled lands. They are also
outlawed in Utah State Parks.
The Deseret News has this
article highlighting laws and safety issues for fireworks. Below
are excerpts.
Lighting fireworks
in Utah is allowed between July 1 and July 7, and from July 21 to
July 27 from 11 a.m. until 11 p.m. and extended until midnight on the
Fourth of July to accommodate the various
shows. Municipalities also can impose restrictions on when
and where fireworks are allowed.
In Salt Lake City,
the area west of I-15, east of the Capitol, the University of Utah
and city parks are all off-limits for lighting fireworks, said fire
department spokesman Jasen Asay.
