Logan, UT Fire Regulations: Wildfire Zones (2026)

Section 8.04.019 of the Logan Municipal Code does two things. Subsection A adopts, for the purpose of prescribing regulations governing conditions hazardous to life and property from impacts related to development in wildlands, the 2006 Utah Wildland Urban Interface Code, as adopted by Utah Code section 15A-2-103 or its successor. A copy is placed on file in the office of the Logan city recorder for public use and examination. Subsection B adopts the Logan City Wildland-Urban Interface Map, which delineates the wildland urban interface areas within Logan City, and a copy of the map is likewise on file with the city recorder. The map itself is not reproduced in the code text, so the recorder's copy is the place to check whether a parcel falls inside a mapped area.

Section 8.04.017 supplies the working definition: the wildland urban interface area is 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. That term links the map to the rest of Chapter 8.04. Section 8.04.018 lets a fire code official issue an order prohibiting or restricting any ignition source, including fireworks, in mountainous, brush covered, or forest covered areas or the wildland urban interface area when hazardous environmental conditions require controlled use.

The chapter's baseline is the 2012 edition of the International Fire Code, adopted in section 8.04.010 and enforced under section 8.04.015 by the bureau of fire prevention in the fire department, supervised by the chief of the fire department. Section 8.04.045 prohibits recreational fires when the Utah Clearing Index for Airshed #4 is below five hundred (500) or when the AQI is other than Good for Cache County, and limits a property owner to two (2) recreational fires per week. Section 8.04.040 bars contractors from burning combustible materials on a construction site.
