Fireworks Youre Blocked GIF

๐Ÿšซ Personal Fireworks Ban Extended Through Pioneer Day in South Davis

Residents in Bountiful, Centerville, West Bountiful, Woods Cross, and North Salt Lake will not be allowed to discharge personal fireworks through July 25 as South Davis Metro Fire officials respond to extreme drought conditions and elevated wildfire danger. The restriction follows ongoing evaluations of weather, fire conditions, and statewide firefighting resources. Bountiful leaders are encouraging families to attend the city's professional fireworks show at Mueller Park Junior High on Saturday, July 25, which will still take place under fire department supervision.

The temporary ban is designed to reduce wildfire risk while still giving families a safe way to celebrate Pioneer Day and Handcart Days. ๐Ÿ‘‰ See Post

๐ŸŽ† Want to know where personal fireworks are still allowed in Utah โ€”and where they're prohibited? Check this interactive restrictions guide before you celebrate. . .

It's a fun way to build community spirit and celebrate Pioneer Day while highlighting traditions that bring neighbors together across South Davis County. ๐Ÿ‘‰ Details

๐Ÿพ Water Isn't Just for Summer! ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿถ

Most dogs don't drink enough water on their ownโ€”especially when they're busy playing or exploring. Staying hydrated helps support healthy joints, digestion, energy, and overall wellness.

Here are a few easy ways to encourage your pup to drink more:
โ€ข Refresh their water bowl daily
โ€ข Bring water along on walks and adventures
โ€ข Add a splash of bone broth or goat's milk to meals for extra hydration

โœจ Small habits can make a big difference in keeping your dog healthy and feeling their best.

Stop by Preppy Paws for nutritious food, hydration boosters, and enrichment ideas to help your pup thriveโ€”inside and out! ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’›
