Town Fire Chief Restricts Fireworks
The
Genola Town Fire Chief has prohibited the use of fireworks and open burning in
several areas of Genola.
Chief Greg Smith cited the abundance
of tall grasses and weeds, continuing high temperatures and winds that quickly
dry out vegetation as the need for the restriction. He also noted that there is
a large fuel load of “duff” or undergrowth from previous years that adds to the
fire danger.
The
following restrictions are in place for the duration of the 2012 fireworks
season:
1)
All
areas south of Highway 6 within the Genola Town limits.
2)
All
areas east of 800 east to 1200 north.
3)
All
areas east of Hillside Drive and continuing on 1600 north to Main Street.
4)
All
areas east of Lake Road within the boundaries of Genola Town limits.
If you live within the restricted
areas, please enjoy your fireworks by setting them off within the Genola Town
Park (please be responsible and clean up after your fun). The Fire Department
will continue to monitor environmental conditions throughout the rest of the
Town for additional fireworks restrictions.
As
a reminder:
To
report non-emergency situations call 801-794-3970.
To
report a fire, stop a crime or save a life call 911.
