2021 has been a devastating drought year in Utah! In past years- we have seen multiple fires started by private fireworks. UTAH CAN NOT AFFORD TO TAKE THE FIRE RISK THIS YEAR. Governor Cox issued an executive order declaring a state of emergency due to drought conditions back in March. https://governor.utah.gov/2021/03/17/gov-cox-issues-drought-executive-order/

He has NOT banned private fireworks though. He has asked the people of Utah to cut back on private fireworks but we know this is not enough.

Sign this petition to get Governor Cox to issue a ban on private fireworks this year due to the drought and hazardous fire conditions. This is an effort to reduce human causes fires this year!
