The exception, according to the city, will be the Cherry Days fireworks show, which will be closely monitored by firefighters.
“If we all take personal responsibility and follow this ban, we will help to protect our beautiful country,” said the city’s announcement.
North Ogden joins Salt Lake City, Park City, Eagle Mountain, and others in enacting a fireworks ban.
Governor Spencer Cox says he has no power to enact a statewide ban, and state lawmakers said they have no plans to convene a special session to discuss such a ban.
