Council backs state's temporary fireworks ban; professional displays only
Summary
The council voted to adopt a temporary ban on consumer fireworks in support of the state request; Mayor Doug Clements said fireworks will be limited to licensed professional displays and noted no display is currently scheduled for July 4.
Charleston's Town Council voted July 2 to adopt a temporary ban on consumer fireworks in alignment with a State of Utah request. Mayor Doug Clements presented a letter supporting the state's temporary ban and clarified the town's implementation: "fireworks will only be permitted through licensed professional displays authorized by the town," he said, and added that no professional display was scheduled for the July 4 holiday.
Council members raised no objections during the discussion and the motion to adopt the ban passed with council support recorded as unanimous. The mayor noted the town is exploring alternatives, including possible drone shows for future events, and did not record any immediate exemptions beyond licensed displays.
