Most fire restrictions in Washington, Kane, Beaver, and Iron Counties were lifted beginning last Thursday. According to a report from Mid-Utah Radio, the decision was driven by cooler temperatures, forecasted moisture, and a lower potential for human-caused wildfire activity.
While restrictions were lifted, officials noted that wildfire danger still exists. The public is advised to use caution when recreating or engaging in any fire-related activity.
Debris burning in towns, cities, and unincorporated areas remains strictly regulated by permit only. Residents should check with local fire departments, county Fire Wardens, or local land management agencies regarding specific requirements in their area.
