Due to the ongoing risk of extreme wildfire, the City of Orem has implemented a ban on the use of personal fireworks during the Pioneer Day holiday discharge window. We encourage everyone to enjoy the free professional firework shows over Utah Lake and University Place. Thank you for celebrating responsibly and helping keep Orem safe.
Note: Neither the City nor the State Forester has the authority to regulate fireworks by type. As a result, the City cannot allow ground-based fireworks while prohibiting aerial fireworks.
To report illegal firework discharge, do NOT call 911 unless there is an active fire or injury. Instead, please use the non-emergency dispatch line at 801-229-7070. Violations of the emergency ban may result in significant fines and liability for fire damage costs.
We appreciate your sacrifice and cooperation as we find a safe way to celebrate 250 years of American independence.
