Announcement: Open Burning Ban Lifted in Unincorporated Bernalillo County
by Larry Gallegos, Bernalillo County Public Information Specialist
Bernalillo County – Today, Bernalillo County Fire Marshal Chris Gober lifted the last of the burn bans and restrictions that have been in place since June.
“We thank everyone for following the burn restrictions and making this a fire safe summer,” says Fire Chief John Garcia. “The recent rains have finally brought the fire danger down enough to lift the ban.”
Bernalillo County Fire Marshal Chris Gober reminds everyone that only tumbleweeds and dry weeds can be burned and only in piles of no more than three feet tall by three feet wide. Burning of tree limbs and branches, other wood products, leaves and trash is always prohibited.
