FIREWORK SAFETY AND UTAH’S JULY HOLIDAYS

The university and surrounding Salt Lake City neighborhoods are prohibited from using any kind of fireworks during the July holidays.  (See the map) Hot and dry conditions warrant extreme care along the university’s east bench especially. Fireworks and open fires of any kind are not allowed.  If grilling out of doors use extreme caution to keep sparks contained.  A working fire extinguisher must be present and grills should never be unattended. 

More information on fireworks restrictions is available here. General fireworks safety tips can be found here.
