South Salt Lake, Utah – According to officials, fireworks, explosive devices, and open fires are now prohibited in South Salt Lake until further notice.
During a Tuesday meeting, city leaders discussed “existing hazardous environmental conditions such as low humidity and moisture content of vegetation.”
Following a majority City Council vote, fireworks, explosive devices, and open flames have been restricted.
“As Fire Chief, I am sworn to protect life and property,” says Fire Chief Terry Addison. “I am dedicated to
ensuring the safety and peace of mind of all South Salt Lake residents. For these reasons, I brought
forward the Fire Restriction Order to protect the safety of everyone in South Salt Lake.”
According to city officials, residential barbecues are the only exception.
“I believe this is in the best interest of our residents,” says Mayor Cherie Wood. “The ability to protect
the community and keep them safe is priority one.”
“We are asking South Salt Lake Residents to skip personal fireworks this year to ensure that everyone
can enjoy a safe and fun holiday,” Chief Addison adds.
