🧨 This weekend, fireworks sales can start in Utah through July 25 and firefighters want to remind everyone to be safe, smart and know the rules if you decide to light off fireworks in your neighborhood. AprilBakertv
Firefighters are especially concerned about areas where nature and development collide, also known as"Wildland-Urban Interfaces."
As Utah received record amounts of snow and rain during the last few months, more plants are growing, which means more fuel for a fire. "They can ignite very rapidly," explained Deputy Chief Ryan Lessner."The challenge with that especially if we have any sort of wind. Uh, that can push the fire into the adjacent homes.”
While fireworks can be fun to mark a special occasion, they can also be especially dangerous during the warm summer months. "It’s important to realize that we will have fires as a result of fireworks and other sources that they’re not just related to fireworks," Lessner said."I just want to ensure that people, when they’re using fireworks, that they’re safe, they keep their families safe and that we ensure that they are using legal fireworks.
