KNOW THE RESTRICTIONS - With Pioneer Day weekend just around the corner, officials are urging Utahns to know the restrictions before lighting off fireworks.
“Cottonwood heights works really closely with united fire authority, our fire partner in determining, going through a prevention method to determine what we both think would be safe areas to have fireworks set off and then, and then on the opposite end, where we think it’s too dangerous and they can’t be set off,” said Mayor Mike Weichers.According to the latest map from the city, the eastern bench of Cottonwood Heights is in a restricted area, along with other pockets across the city.
“Restricted areas are there for a good reason,” said Unified Fire Authority’s Public Information Officer, Ryan Love. “The last thing we want is for a field to catch on fire or for a restricted area to catch on fire because it puts people, life [and] property at risk.” Weichers says after the Fourth of July, the city expanded its restrictions because residents asked for more areas to be added to the list.
When the city council and UFA did an assessment of those areas, it was decided it was safer to broaden restrictions.Gov. Cox urges Utahns to be cautious with fireworks during Pioneer Day Weekend “We had residents complain and say, 'Hey, we feel like this area that’s not disqualified is a danger,' and so we listened to them,” said Weichers.“The best thing that we can do is protect our homes by clearing out our homes from dead fuel,” he said.
