Summit County's current fire danger is "moderate."
Types of Utah fire restrictions
Stage 1: prohibits fireworks, tracer ammunition, exploding targets, open flames in unimproved fire pits (primitive campfires) as well as smoking, cutting, welding or metal grinding around dry vegetation. Spark arrestors are required for small vehicle engines.
Stage 2: includes all prior restrictions and further bans any open flames, with exceptions for gas stoves, grills or fire pits with shutoff valves three feet away from flammable material.
Current restrictions
Municipalities and national forests decide their own restrictions; the state forester decides for unincorporated Summit County.
- Unincorporated Summit County: Stage 1 (Only within Park City Fire District jurisdiction. None in unincorporated North or South Summit.)
- Park City: Stage 1
- Henefer: none (Stage 1 is triggered when county fire danger is "high")
- Coalville: none
- Oakley: none
- Kamas: Stage 1 (year-round)
- Francis: Stage 1
- Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest: no fireworks; primitive campfires allowed
Utah's default ban on fireworks
Absent any restrictions, fireworks are banned in Utah year round except from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. on July 2–5 and July 22–25. Fireworks can be fired until midnight on the Fourth of July and Pioneer Day. Fireworks are also allowed from 11 a.m. until 1 a.m. on New Year’s Eve and Lunar New Year’s Eve.
Stage 1 and 2 fire restrictions trump the statewide exceptions for holidays above.
Fireworks may be bought or sold June 24–July 25, Dec. 29–31 and two days before Lunar New Year.
