(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) In City Creek Canyon on Wednesday, May 26, 2021, Gov. Spencer Cox and interagency fire leadership ask everyone in Utah this summer to change their behaviors when outside, as they launch “Fire Sense”, a public service campaign designed to educate the public and empower them to make fire sense decisions. Cox said Wednesday that he'd like to issue a fireworks ban ahead of the Fourth of July, but he's not allowed to do so as part of his emergency powers.
