DECLARING A DROUGHT AND SEVERE FIRE CONDITIONS THROUGHOUT THE STATE AND URGING MUNICIPAL AND COUNTY GOVERNMENTS TO IMPOSE WATER USE RESTRICTIONS AND FIREWORK BANS.

  • Board of County Commissioners Ban Open Burning

May 27, 2026

Bernalillo County – The Bernalillo County Board of County Commissioners voted tonight to ban all open burning in the unincorporated areas of the county, outside the city limits of Albuquerque.

“One small spark could be devastating, especially in the heavily forested rural East Mountains and the Foothills of Albuquerque in my district,” says Commissioner Eric Olivas (D5). “In order to protect our community, we have to take this ban seriously and act now before conditions worsen.”

Under the administrative resolution, all open burning, including campfires and vegetation fires, is prohibited. Smoking is only allowed inside enclosed buildings or vehicles with ashtrays.

“We have been closely monitoring data from our federal and state partners for months now and we’re seeing a rising danger,” says Bernalillo County Fire & Rescue Chief Zach Lardy. “Our priority is protecting lives, property, and our natural resources, and this ban is an important step in reducing the risk of wildfires.”

The ban was passed by the commission on a 4 to 0 vote. Bernalillo County Board Chair Adriann Barboa was excused.
