Utah Code Title 65A, Chapter 8 grants the state forester authority over wildfire prevention statewide, including closed fire season declarations, restricted fire areas, and the Wildland Urban Interface program coordinating municipal mitigation standards.
Utah Code Title 65A, Chapter 8 places primary wildfire prevention authority with the Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands and the state forester. Section 65A-8-203 authorizes restricted fire areas where smoking, open flames, fireworks, and exploding targets may be prohibited statewide by proclamation. Section 65A-8a-203 establishes the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) program under which counties and municipalities adopt the state-approved WUI code, classify hazard zones, and qualify for state suppression cost-sharing. Local building and fire officials enforce defensible space and ignition-resistant construction within mapped WUI areas, but the framework is set by the state.
Violating a state restricted-fire-area proclamation is a class B misdemeanor under 65A-8-210; noncompliance with WUI ignition standards may bar cost-sharing reimbursement.
