Campfires:

• Make sure to build fires in a pit with rocks, away from overhanging branches, dry grass and leaves.

• Always have a bucket of water and shovel nearby.

• Always have adult supervision and never leave a fire unattended.

Off-road vehicles:

• Don't park in or drive through dry grass.

• Carry a shovel and extinguisher in your vehicle.

• Watch for flying sparks from vehicles and machinery.

Fireworks:

• Use only legal fireworks and only in safe areas away from vegetation.

• If you've purchased fireworks outside Utah, they probably are illegal.

• There is a statewide ban on using fireworks on all Bureau of Land Management land.

• Always read the directions.

• Always have adult supervision.

• Never use fireworks near dry grass or other flammable materials.

More information on legal and illegal fireworks can be found on www.utah.gov.
