July 4th 2023 Firework Restrictions

Here are the fireworks restrictions within the Garden City Fire District boundaries for the 2023 July 4th holiday.
 
The fire district boundaries are from the Idaho line south to the rest area on State Highway 30 and from Cache County to the middle of Bear Lake.
 
There is only one location that the lighting of fireworks will be permitted and legal within the fire district. There will be no exceptions. The city has allowed the big dirt field north of the heritage park to be used. We encourage everyone to come there with their fireworks. Even if you don’t have any fireworks, it is worth coming and watching everyone else light theirs. We will have a fire truck and medical personnel on site.
 
Remember, any shooting of fireworks outside of the designated area set aside by garden city will result in confiscation of fireworks and possible steep fines. Also remember that single shot (reloadable) mortars are illegal in Utah and will be confiscated and violators will be fined as well.
 
Have a fun and safe Independence Day!

                                                            Press Release

          Yesterday, August 22, 2020, at approximately 8:55 pm a residential fire started with a mobile home at 3199 Nina Loop in the Sweetwater Trailer Park subdivision in Garden City. Propane appears to be the one of the initiating factors in the fire and an investigation is currently underway.

            As the fire progressed, it consumed the first home and quickly spread to three other structures, ultimately destroying three structures and badly damaging a fourth home that caught fire.  Crews were able to extinguish the fire in the fourth home and at least one other structure sustained minor damage for a total of five structures destroyed or damaged.

            During the course of the fire, several large explosions caused by multiple propane tanks shook the immediate vicinity and multiple smaller explosions as well.  All home owners are accounted for and no injuries were suffered by bystanders or first responders.

            Fire crews from Garden City Fire District, Laketown Fire District, and Bear Lake County Fire Department responded with eight engines and at least 30 Firefighters. The fire was declared under control and extinguished by approximately 11:30 pm.

            Residents and visitors in the area reported hearing and feeling the explosions from several miles away.
