Green River Fire Chief has issued the following notice. Kennedy said, quote:
As I read the press release of the 19 Firefighters that lost their lives this last Sunday June 30th fighting a fire in Arizona, I ask all the Citizens of Green River, the surrounding area, and anyone else that may read this, To Please use caution in any action that could cause any kind of a fire. I believe all residents of Green River know that fireworks are against the law in the City, and for the Fire Department I ask you please just watch the commercial displays that are provided by the Municipalities and save your monies and our Firefighters.

The Bureau of Land Management has also issued a warning. As the Fourth of July holiday approaches, visitors and residents alike are reminded that fireworks are not permitted on BLM lands at any time. Other activities subject to BLM year-round fire restrictions include Discharging a firearm using incendiary or tracer ammunition; Burning, igniting, or causing to burn any tire, wire, magnesium, or other hazardous or explosive material; and Operating any off-road vehicle on public lands unless the vehicle is equipped with a properly installed spark arrester.
With the already active fire season, public land users should exercise caution and practice heightened fire safety at all times: ensure all campfires are dead out; travel and camp with a shovel, fire extinguisher and ample water; and confine smoking within a vehicle or cleared area. Industry should also have protective measures in place to limit fire ignitions.
