SALT LAKE COUNTY, Utah — As Utahns prepare for Fourth of July celebrations and traditions, they may be wondering: Can we light off fireworks in our neighborhood?
Firstly, no personal fireworks whatsoever are allowed to be lit until July 2. The window is from July 2-5, from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. (except for on Independence Day, when it extends until midnight). Similarly, the window for Pioneer Day is July 22-25 in the same time frame (with the 24th itself going till midnight).
During those permitted periods, however, fireworks are still banned in some areas. The rules are established by individual municipalities.
