The restriction began July 19 and continues indefinitely, according to a news release Monday from Mayor Jackie Biskupski’s office.
“With increasingly hot and dry conditions, as well as City Creek Canyon’s close proximity to urban neighborhoods, Salt Lake City Public Utilities and Salt Lake City Fire Department have decided to implement the ban until further notice," the release states.
Fireworks and open fires outside of developed sites are always prohibited in City Creek Canyon. Propane-fueled camp stoves are permitted.
