Saturday, July 23, 2022 |  Murray City Fire Capt. Steven Roberson demonstrates how to safely light and extinguish fireworks ahead of Pioneer Day, at Macey's Grocery Store in Murray on Thursday, July 21, 2022. Most of Utah is in extreme drought and at high risk for wildfires. Ahead of Pioneer Day weekend, firefighters and other agencies are urging Utahns to use their fire sense before playing with any kind of fire, especially given the dry conditions the state's been facing. Firefighters and other agencies are encouraging the public to visit their local town or city's firework show as they will be safest with firefighters on stand-by in case anything goes awry.
