Fireworks restrictions in place for Utah's 4th of July

Editor's Note: This list is continually being updated. If you have more restrictions to report, please email us at kslweb@ksl.com. SALT LAKE CITY — Fireworks can be fun for people of all ages, but safety advocates are reminding the public to be careful during their Fourth of July celebrations.

Firework restrictions have been put in place in communities throughout Utah to prevent damages from fire. A list of the areas with restrictions can be found below. It is illegal to possess or ignite fireworks on state or federal land at any time and offenders can face fines of up to $5,000.
