Utah bill limits target shooting during high wildfire risk

After amending legislation permitting the state forester to ban target shooting during times of high wildfire risk to add the requirement that the forester work with local sheriffs implementing restictions, the Utah Senate unanimously approved SB120 and sent it to the state House for action. In June, a fire sparked by two shooters using exploding targets near Saratoga Springs burned 5,507 acres and cost $2.1 million to fight.  Salt Lake Tribune.

Fire marshals should inherently have the power to suspend target shooting without needing legislative approval.
