  "Our firefighters welcome the tradition and look forward to shooting them off," Fire Chief Dale Ekins said.
  ...
  "We usually have a good turnout of our members," Ekins said."It is a good time to involve the families with our firefighters."
  
  The families go home after the meal and the firefighters work on what can be one of the busiest days of the year, said Ekins.Often they were called out while monitoring or shooting off the city's fireworks to a douse a fire or respond to a holiday accident.
  
  "As our town grows, we are getting busier, but our full-time members have decreased our response time by better than half of what we used to be," Ekins said.

  Fireworks restrictions
  
  Fire Chief Dale Ekins has restricted fireworks because of the extreme fire danger in some areas of Lehi City.Any of the area north of State route 92 such as Traverse Mountain and IM Flash, and 1200 East and 300/600 east in the hollows or dips of the terrain are off limits for any type of fireworks.These areas are prime for big fire problems if something gets started, he said.

  Dale Ekins, with the Lehi Fire Department, shared some safety tips to make your celebrations more safe this season.
  ...
  Ekins suggested, "Make sure your appliances are properly vented.Check furnace filters for dirt or blockages."Gas dryers, water heaters, furnaces, stoves, wood or coal burning stoves should be checked regularly for restricted ventilation.Bird and wasp nests, dirt, lint, leaves, etc. can block these openings and create deadly situations for the home owners.Ekins noted that a basketball was once found to be blocking a chimney vent, creating a hazard.
  
  Avoid warming up your vehicle in the garage.

  Due to a lot of cheatgrass and brush, there is a ban for the Traverse Mountain area just north of State Road 92 and for the Dry Creek area that runs through the city, said Fire Chief Dale Ekins.
  
  The ban is necessary by Traverse Mountain because if a fire were to start, it could shoot up the mountain and head for Draper.He said officials want to protect that area, especially where future development is concerned.
  
  "It could go up the slope and though there doesn't look like a lot of space, it would be very difficult but not impossible to fight," he said."We need to just keep people away from there."
  
  The Dry Creek area near 1200 East has Ekins concerned because of a lot of overgrowth.There should be no problems if people use legal fireworks responsibly and if children are supervised, he said.
