Instead of traditional fireworks for the 4th of July, residents can expect a choreographed drone light show in Salt Lake City. "These drones are meant to fly up into the sky and coordinate with each other to create fun and entertaining visuals," said Jana Cunningham, spokeswoman for the Salt Lake City Department of Public Lands. The city has been using drones for several years. Cunningham said Salt Lake City made the switch four years ago, citing both safety and environmental concerns. "Although fireworks are super fun and mesmerizing, they do have a huge potential for fires," she explained. "They also put a lot of pollutants into the air." ✍️/🎤: Annette Campbell, KSL 📸: Greg Anderson, KSL #utahfireworks #fireworkban #droneshow #4thofjuly
