FIREWORKS BANNED IN MOAB CITY LIMITS THROUGH JULY 31
The City of Moab has banned the use of fireworks through July 31 within Moab city limits, due to hazardous environmental conditions and high fire risk within the city. The Fire Chief of the Moab Valley Fire Protection District has determined that hazardous conditions including dry grasses, brush and other combustible vegetation persist on public and private land within the city, creating elevated wildfire risk. The Fire Chief recommended that the entire city be designated a "restricted use area," and that fireworks and open fires be banned to protect public safety and reduce the risk of fire in the community. The Moab City Council approved an ordinance on June 30 prohibiting the discharge of personal fireworks and the use of open fires within city boundaries through July 31, due to existing environmental hazardous conditions.
The professional community fireworks display scheduled for July 4 in the Sand Flats area is expected to occur at dark as originally planned.
