Salt Lake City, Utah — Some people are choosing to ignore the warnings and continue to light their own fireworks, despite restrictions and bans in cities around Utah.
While Salt Lake County has not issued an outright fireworks ban due to the lack of authority given to Mayor Jenny Wilson, there are still places in the county where the use of fireworks is prohibited.
The county is asking residents who see people using fireworks illegally to report them to authorities.
On Tuesday, Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall announced a citywide ban on fireworks and open burning until further notice.
Salt Lake County officials provided the following numbers to report fireworks use: Salt Lake City & Sandy: 801-799-3000 and all other municipalities in Salt Lake County: 801-840-4000
