The month if May is wildfire awareness month. Wildfires can be caused by lightning, human carelessness, or arson. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cApproximately 99-percent of Utah is in a severe drought condition, which means many water conservancy districts have enacted restrictions on water use,\u201d said Council Member Pamela Bloom. \u201cPutting out wildfires can take valuable water from Utah\u2019s local reservoirs.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, suppressing three major fires in Washington County during Summer 2020 drew approximately 765,000 gallons of water from local reservoirs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preventing wildfires is a surefire way to help conserve water. Here\u2019s what you can do to help. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. If you start a pit fire, make sure there are no glowing embers, and that the pit fire area is cold to the touch before you leave. <\/li>
  2. Don\u2019t start fires in high winds or areas with lots of dry brush. <\/li>
  3. Abide by local firework ordinances and maps. <\/li>
  4. If you light fireworks, be sure to have water handy, including a hose or bucket of water. <\/li>
  5. Keep vehicles off dry grass, hot exhaust pipes and mufflers can start fires. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cFollowing firework restrictions is essential in reducing fire risk,\u201d said Council Member Kayleen Whitelock. \u201cRestrictions are placed in areas where it is difficult for the fire department to fight a fire\u2014often due to geography, dry vegetation, or water availability.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    By keeping fireworks in designated areas, residents help ease the burden of the fire department by greatly reducing the chance of starting a fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You can find the finalized firework restrictions recommended by the Fire Marshall and approved by the Council on the City website. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
