Firefighters Face Abuse Over Firework Rules | Texas News

Firefighters in South Weber, Utah, are facing verbal abuse from angry residents over new fireworks restrictions aimed at preventing wildfires — a growing threat across the West after three firefighters died battling flames near the Colorado border. While the city council enacted the rules under a statewide governor’s order, the fire department insists they’re just enforcing, not creating, the policy — and they’re asking people to stop threatening or cursing at them. Residents say the rules aren’t extreme, but the disrespect is unacceptable. Fireworks are still legal — just limited to specific times and safe zones — as communities try to balance celebration with safety.
