Salt Lake City firefighters get out the word about where fireworks are banned

Salt Lake City firefighters are going door-to-door this weekend to remind residents where they can and cannot light fireworks on the Fourth of July holiday.

Firefighters on Friday passed out flyers in Rose Park, on the city’s northwest side — and are planning to do the same Saturday in the Avenues and Capitol neighborhoods, said Capt. Adam Archuleta of the Salt Lake City Fire Department.

The flyers remind residents of the city’s “No Fireworks Zone,” where fireworks are banned. The area covers land west of Redwood Road, north of South Temple, and east of 900 South. Fireworks also are not allowed in city parks.
