The Town of Manila implemented fireworks restrictions following reports of extreme fire danger, high winds, and record dry vegetation. The notice, posted on June 25, 2026, established several prohibitions to mitigate risks to the community.
Under the restrictions, open fires were prohibited, though code-compliant residential fire pits remained allowed. Fireworks use was limited to items such as sparklers, spinners, and bloom fireworks.
The notice also prohibited smoking except within an enclosed building, trailer, or vehicle, or in areas that were free of dry vegetation. Additionally, cutting, welding, or grinding was not permitted in areas containing dry vegetation.
Rules were established for motorized equipment, such as chainsaws or ATVs, which required an approved spark arrestor for use. The town also stated that fireworks purchased outside the State of Utah were not allowed within the Town of Manila.
Violating these restrictions constituted a violation of Town Ordinance and could result in fines of up to $1,000 or six months in jail. Officials urged residents to be cautious and responsible during the high-fire-danger season to help keep Manila safe.
