Firework Restrictions
53-7-220 through 53-7-225 is the Utah Fire Prevention and Fireworks Act. This state act details what restrictions cities can place in regard to fireworks. Due to drought conditions in 2022 and after speaking with the State Fire Marshall, the Saratoga Springs Fire Department has placed all restrictions allowed under the law. It is important for citizens to understand the risk and liability of fireworks and what safety measures can be taken to minimize these risks.
