“Any Spark Can Start a Fire”
Bernalillo County Fire Department wants to get the word out
Bernalillo County – Bernalillo County can only ban and restrict certain fireworks, it can’t ban the sale of fireworks. But for public safety reasons, we are seeking voluntary compliance from residents to refrain from using fireworks this year.
“With the extreme dry conditions around Bernalillo County and the fires that are already burning in our state, we need to pull together as a community to ensure the safety of our community,” says County Fire Chief, John Garcia.
