LAYTON - In a pro-active approach to preventing wildfires during these extreme fire conditions, the Layton City Fire Department is enacting a restriction on the use of approved aerial fireworks in portions of Layton City.

All fireworks are prohibited east of Highway 89 based on the 2004 City Ordinance.

Layton City Code 9.64.150 allows the Fire Chief, during adverse fire conditions, to prohibit the use of fireworks in other parts of the city. These restrictions are allowed with the passage of State Fire Code Act 15A-5-202.5(1)(b). On May 19, 2022, additional aerial restrictions were passed by Resolution 22-34.

Restriction Maps will be at all sales site locations throughout the city.

Layton City has designated and opened up the use of Andy Adams and Sandridge Parks for the safe use of approved aerial fireworks during the legal discharge dates and time periods.

The Fire Department and Police Department will be enforcing a 'zero tolerance' policy for illegal fireworks within the city limits.
