The Salt Lake Tribune @sltrib.com · 29d Fire officials say Utah is one big tinderbox. The Fourth of July is 10 days away, and Pioneer Day is 20 days after that. We want to know: What should be done about fireworks? Restrictions on sale and/or use? An outright ban? Tell us what you think.

Ban them. We’ve been in a drought for years. Get the fireworks tent sales shut down. And I like fireworks, but I like not having wildfires more.
Ban them. Reward lawmakers & council members who have already done it by thanking them. because this SAVES LIVES, MONEY, and saves homes, wildlife, resources etc.
At least you aren’t being told to rake your forest. And yes of course they should be banned.
Ban.
Ban them
Not a hard one, Outright ban. Fireworks are as useful as billionaires.
Living in a wildfire prone state myself, there better be an all-out ban there on fireworks, open pit fires in backyards, any camp fires in campgrounds, warnings to smokers and more. Heavy fines for selling fireworks, anyone setting them off, etc. Put out many public service announcements.
Wasting money on Fireworks should have been banned 250 years ago.

Ban fireworks.
Ban them!! It doesn’t make any sense to rain fire from the sky with the drought, the cheat grass, neglected defensible space work, the ignorant/reckless users, etc. Folks need to wake up, banning fireworks will help. Maybe they’ll go do their defensible space work! I see so much neglect there.
