As you celebrate America today, please do so safely. If you're in Utah, you know how hard our state has been hit by wildfires. Let's not start some new ones today. So, if you're launching fireworks, please do so responsibly and make sure that you're in an area, or city, that permits them.

It's dry out there. This has been a very dry year and because of that, fires can start rather easily and quickly spread. For your safety, and the safety of our community, please, please, please use caution and common sense.

So have fun. But stay safe.
