Utah governor orders ban on fireworks as wildfires rage across state
Utah governor Spencer Cox has issued a temporary ban on personal fireworks until 5 July amid a state of emergency due to wildfires causing evacuations in Eureka. The executive order allows the state forester to prohibit fireworks statewide and suspends a 2024 law that restricted the forester's authority in cities.
