It is hard to believe that July is nearly done. As Fire Marshal I was wondering what your thoughts were concerning the new fireworks laws? In a quick look at calls for service, the weekend of July fourth was much much busier than last year, the twenty-fourth was about the same as last year.
My office has received a lot of calls about the new law/ordinance. Here are a few of the themes for example.
1 Can we start a petittion to change it back?
2 My neighbors are lighting fireworks at 1:00 in the morning, what are you going to do about it?
3 Why can't we shoot fire works all year round?
4 These are legal? Your joking right?
You get the picture, some for it some against it.
I would like to hear your thoughts and concerns. Please leave me a comment here on the site.
Thanks for being great!
As always Be Smart... Be Safe... BE READY!

I think they all should be legal.
ReplyDeleteAnything you can buy in Wyoming you should be able to buy here in Utah.
However, I do believe there should be a stop time that is advertised.
Like no fireworks after 11:00 PM
The three days before and three days after seems to work okay
Fireworks that go off in the air probably start less fires than fireworks that go off on the ground. Also people are just going to go to Wyoming to get them if you outlaw them anyway. Prohibition never works.
ReplyDeleteInitially, I thought it was going to be great lighting off the new fireworks. After seeing aerial fireworks landing on many houses in the neighborhood, including my own, I strongly appose them. I personally will not be firing these off again at my home. Unfortunately, I cannot stop my neighbors from doing so. I just hope my house doesn't burn down at someone's need for excitement. Get rid of them....
ReplyDelete2 weeks of fireworks was bad enough. i hate the new ordinance ! non stop fireworks going off around my house and as late as 2am. how about the 4th and 24th only ?
