SKIP THE FIREWORKS - With the entire state in drought conditions and wildfires already keeping crews busy, the governor and firefighters pleaded with people to consider skipping personal fireworks this year.
"We encourage citizens to forego personal fireworks shows this year," West Jordan Fire Chief Derek Maxfield said at a news conference on Thursday.
"As you look at a day like today where it’s windy, hot and dry," said Utah Department of Natural Resources Executive Director Brian Steed."Those are the perfect conditions for a catastrophic set of circumstances." "We’ve got nearly half of the city of South Jordan under restrictions on the west side and a large portion on the east side," said South Jordan Mayor Dawn Ramsey."There’s so much at risk right now? It’s just not worth the risk."
