“The Cottonwood Heights City Council is banning residents from discharging aerial fireworks within city boundaries — a move Mayor Kelvyn Cullimore said he hopes will serve as a message to the Legislature that municipalities need more local control over the issue. The ban, approved late Tuesday, came in response to firework-related blazes across the Salt Lake Valley on Independence Day, including three fires that burned in Cottonwood Heights. Fire department dispatchers reported nearly 70 firework-related calls in Salt Lake County from the night of July 4 through the next morning. More than 20 people spoke on the issue at Tuesday’s council meeting, with almost all in favor of the ban, Cullimore said.”
