West Jordan City is prohibiting the use <\/a>of any ignition source, including fireworks, lighters and matches, in certain areas of the city (see list below and attached map). It is a Class B Misdemeanor to violate these restrictions and may result in penalties of up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine. The Fire Department will be providing extra patrols and assisting the Police Department with the enforcement of the restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Restricted areas include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. All areas west of SR-111 (also known as U-111 and Bacchus Highway within West Jordan City limits.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. All areas within 200 feet of the Jordan River Parkway Trail east of 1300 West.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. All areas within 200 feet of the area commonly referred to as Clay Hollow Wash that runs east and west in the area of 7800 South (approximately 4800 West to SR-111).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. All areas within 200 feet of Bingham Creek, located near Old Bingham Highway running the length of the east\/west boundaries within West Jordan.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. All city parks, unless a permit has been obtained for a professional display.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    According to the National Weather Service\u2019s three-month forecast (March through May), precipitation in the area is anticipated to be normal. However, the temperature will trend higher at 2 to 7 degrees warmer than normal. While this is a welcome change from the past several springs, our intent is to do what we can to prevent injury and property loss from fire. Therefore, we are issuing this notice of fireworks restrictions. The Fire Department will continue to monitor environmental conditions throughout the rest of the city for possible additional fireworks restrictions.<\/p>\n<\/div>

    Salt Lake County has also designated lands in the unincorporated areas of the county that are consistent with these restrictions. The Fire Marshal and Fire Department put these restrictions in place to help keep people and property safe and encourage people to attend the city\u2019s professional fireworks show in Veterans Memorial Park during the Western Stampede celebration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Fire Department will continue to monitor environmental conditions in the coming weeks and could add additional fireworks restrictions. Fireworks may be discharged according to state code the following dates: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
