In Logan City, Utah, section 8.04.018 lets a fire code official issue an order prohibiting or restricting fireworks, lighters, matches, sky lanterns, and smoking materials in mountainous, brush covered, or forest covered areas or the wildland urban interface area when hazardous environmental conditions require it. Chapter 8.08, Fireworks, carries only a repeal note from 2012.
A.

B. An order issued under this section shall be filed with the city recorder's office and published in a manner reasonably calculated to give notice to the general public.

Full Breakdown
Logan's fire prevention chapter, Chapter 8.04, handles fireworks through a conditional order power. Section 8.04.018(A) says that when hazardous environmental conditions necessitate controlled use of any ignition source, including fireworks, lighters, matches, sky lanterns, and smoking materials, a fire code official can issue an order prohibiting or restricting the use of any ignition source in mountainous, brush covered, or forest covered areas or the wildland urban interface area. Section 8.04.017 defines the wildland urban interface area as the line, area, or zone where structures or other human development meet or intermingle with undeveloped wildland or land being used for an agricultural purpose.
Section 8.04.018(B) sets the notice rules. An order must be filed with the city recorder's office and published in a manner reasonably calculated to give notice to the general public, and it must describe the prohibitions or restrictions and the areas in which they apply. The order, not the ordinance, fixes the boundaries and the date range, so the current order is the document to check before using fireworks near the foothills or Logan Canyon.
Chapter 8.08 of Title 8 is headed Fireworks and prints only the note that it was repealed by Ord. 12-32 in 2012. The Fire Code is enforced under section 8.04.015 by the bureau of fire prevention in the fire department, under the supervision of the chief of the fire department.
Two neighboring rules concern open flame. Section 8.04.045 prohibits recreational fires when the Utah Clearing Index for Airshed #4 is below five hundred (500) or when the Utah Division of Air Quality air quality index (AQI) is other than Good for Cache County, and a property owner cannot have or allow more than two (2) recreational fires per week. Section 8.04.040 bars contractors and their employees from setting fire to combustible materials on a building construction site or from burning construction-site materials at any other outdoor location within Logan City.
Violations & Fines
Section 8.04.050 makes any person who violates any provision of Chapter 8.04, or fails to comply with it, guilty of a Class B misdemeanor for each and every violation. The imposition of one penalty does not excuse the violation or permit it to continue, violators must correct the condition within a reasonable time, and when not otherwise specified each ten (10) days that prohibited conditions are maintained constitutes a separate offense.
