Council adopts seasonal fireworks and open-flame restrictions for parts of Daniel

The council read a proposed resolution (DR 2026-04-06) that prohibits fireworks, discharge of firearms and other open flames in defined parts of town — specifically all areas south of 3000 South and the Storm Haven, Crazy Acres and Tammy Lane subdivisions — from June 1 through Oct. 31, 2026.

The resolution says a person who negligently, recklessly or unintentionally causes or spreads a wildland fire will be liable for suppression costs regardless of whether the fire begins on private, public, state, federal or tribal land; the resolution cites Utah Code UCA 65-3-4-1 as legal authority.

A councilor moved to adopt the resolution; the motion carried by roll call. The council directed staff and fire department personnel to post signage on 3000 South before the restriction period and to coordinate communication about the seasonal prohibition.

The restriction is effective upon adoption on April 6, 2026, with the operational restriction period listed in the resolution as June 1–Oct. 31, 2026.
