Utah’s wildfire risk is at a critical level, prompting Governor Cox to issue a statewide fireworks ban — and Salt Lake County is enforcing it with full force. Sheriff Rosie Rivera has deployed deputies to patrol high-risk canyon areas, with zero exceptions across all cities in the state’s most populous county. Police will issue citations, not call 9-1-1 — use non-emergency lines instead. Violators face up to six months in jail and $1,000 fines. Stay safe: leave fireworks for another season.
