Sky lanterns are not legal in Utah or any other state that has adopted the International Fire Code (IFC). While not specifically identifying sky lanterns the definition of a recreational fire would fit what a sky lantern is. The IFC states that all Recreational Fires must be attended by a person at all times until they are completely extinguished.Since a sky lantern is allowed to float away as the air inside the lantern rises in temperature, the flame inside the sky lantern cannot be constantly attended by a person until it is extinguished. The sky lantern is free to float to where ever the air currents take it.The bad part of it is that it may become caught in a tree or on a house or other object and spread it's fire to what ever it gets caught in. This could be a tragic event caused by something that seemed so harmless. Whoever lit the sky lantern would be held responsible for damages caused by their sky lantern.
