Independence Day celebrations are going forward with fireworks and all in St. George and Cedar City despite the region s severe drought conditions.
St. George and Cedar City are both holding events with fireworks this weekend, although neither are on July 4 since it falls on a Sunday. St. George is holding its event July 3 at Town Square Park with the festivities going from 6:30 a.m. to midnight and Cedar City is throwing its parade at 9:30 a.m. July 5 and doing its fireworks show after the sun sets at the Cedar City airport.
These controlled fireworks displays shouldn t cause any especially dangerous fires since both cities take precautions, but fire officials say they still worry about fireworks set off by private citizens. St. George Fire Department Battalion Chief Darren Imlay said that if citizens follow the precautions found on the city website most fires can be prevented.
