Summit County increases fire risk level ahead of hot, dry weekend

National Parks Service

Summit County has bumped up the area’s fire risk from low to moderate ahead of a weekend with forecasted high winds and heat.

The change comes as weather conditions coupled with record dry vegetation conditions and extreme fire danger spreads throughout Utah.

A fire restriction order for unincorporated areas of Summit County within the boundaries of the Park City Fire District has been in place since June 1.

Under the county’s Stage 1 Fire Restrictions, no open fires are allowed except within established fire pits. Fireworks or other pyrotechnic devices are also banned under the restrictions.

A full list of Wasatch Back fire restrictions is available here.
