Salt Lake City, UT, September 5, 2026 — Utah state parks are modifying fire restrictions across numerous locations as the Labor Day weekend approaches. These changes permit campfires to be rekindled in many areas that were previously subject to limitations.

The adjustments mean that visitors to many Utah state parks will once again be able to build campfires, a popular activity during holiday weekends. This lifting or reduction of fire bans comes as the busy Labor Day holiday period is set to begin.

Despite the easing of restrictions, state park officials are emphasizing the continued need for vigilance. They are urging the public to exercise caution due to ongoing high fire danger. While campfires may now be allowed, the potential for wildfires remains a significant concern.

Specific details regarding which parks are affected by the reduced restrictions and the exact nature of the changes were not immediately available. Visitors planning to visit Utah state parks for the Labor Day weekend are advised to check the specific regulations for the park they intend to visit.

Officials are reminding parkgoers that fire safety remains paramount. The public is encouraged to be responsible when using any permitted fire sources. This includes ensuring fires are fully extinguished before leaving a campsite and being aware of current weather conditions that could contribute to fire spread.
