These areas include woodlands with vegetation near homes and urban areas as well as spaces within 200 feet of waterways, trails, canyons, and similar natural features.

The threat of wildfire is always extremely high in Herriman, even if we have a wet winter or spring. The risk of fire is increased when individuals choose to ignore safety guidelines and light fireworks outside the legal and safe discharge areas. Please use extreme caution, review the map of the prohibited areas, be mindful of wind conditions, and remember to be considerate of those around you.

A person guilty of an infraction can be punished by a fine up to $1,000.
