BLM Albuquerque and Las Cruces districts rescind fire restrictions across public lands
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Due to increasing precipitation and higher humidity, which reduce fire danger, the Bureau of Land Management has terminated fire restrictions on public lands in the Albuquerque and Las Cruces districts. Affected counties include Bernalillo, Catron, Cibola, Doña Ana, Hidalgo, Grant, Luna, McKinley, Otero, Sandoval, Sierra, Socorro, Torrance, and Valencia.
The BLM appreciates the public’s cooperation to help minimize the number of human-caused wildfires.
