Moab outlines zero-tolerance enforcement, $1,000 fine for illegal fireworks
Summary
Moab officials said police will add extra patrols during July 2–5 nights and treat illegal personal fireworks as an infraction carrying a $1,000 fine; callers are asked to report locations to dispatch.
Law enforcement described a stepped-up enforcement plan tied to the new temporary fireworks ban. Lex (law enforcement official) told the council the department plans to deploy two to three extra officers each night from about 8 p.m. to 2 a.m. during the July 2–5 period, with a “zero tolerance approach” for illegal fireworks.
Lex (law enforcement official) said enforcement options include citing violations under either the city ordinance or state law and noted “it is an infraction with a 1,000 fine” (S7). Officials asked residents to call dispatch with an address or directional information so officers can respond. The council and staff said more aggressive patrols should relieve pressure on dispersed engine deployment and allow concentration on the authorized display site.
