Following Governor Spencer Cox’s executive order banning the use of fireworks throughout Utah, Heber City Mayor Heidi Franco issued an Emergency Order banning the use of all fireworks within Heber City, effective immediately. In a press release Mayor Franco said, “It is America’s 250th Anniversary and we want to celebrate safely. This beautiful Valley and Mountains protect us, now we need to protect them. Plus, your safety is most important. Thank you for your cooperation with this Fireworks Ban given our extraordinary circumstances this year. Banning fireworks will let us all enjoy this wonderful holiday safely.” She also encouraged residents to attend upcoming city festivities July 2 through July 4 at Main Street Park.
