  1. I think fireworks and shooting shouldn't be allowed at all because there are many risks. First, wildfire in Utah has been too frequent. Also, after firework, the smoke is not good for breathing and Fireworks disturb people's sleep. Actually, now Utah is very dry, so firework is more danger during the current drought. Therefore, fireworks should be limited.

  2. I think fireworks should be allowed but not at all. In my country everybody can use fireworks when they want and there has never been a fire. Never. But utah is a different place and i would not like to take the risk. But anyways 4 of july is only once a year. So fireworks should be allowed in safe places only. And also with adequate prevention everybody should be able to use them.

  3. This article talked about guns and firework can cause to be big fire as much as we worried. Many people didn't recognize that gun and firework can make fire because nowadays weather is so dry. Grass and trees can catch fire from gun and fireworks.

  5. This article talks about the wildfire in Utah, there are more fires than usual this summer. With severe drought conditions, fireworks and shooting should not be allowed because it is dangerous. It is so dry and hot in Utah. Even though you are very carefully to shoot off fireworks, but there are more unknown conditions that people can not control such as wind and spark.

  6. This article talked about the restriction to protect wildfires in Utah. Especially, restriction of gun shooting and fireworks are not allowed. This is because Utah has extremely dry weather condition. With a little spark, it can be developing a huge wildfire. For these reasons, the reporter recommends people to make sure that they have extinguishable substances when they do fire-related tasks.
