Fire restrictions by state

New Mexico fire restrictions, county by county

New Mexico doesn't publish one county-by-county list we could watch, so this page won't pretend to show you a live status. What it can do: tell you who sets fire restrictions here and where today's answer actually lives.

Who declares fire restrictions in New Mexico

New Mexico fire restrictions are set land manager by land manager — the counties and State Forestry for non-federal land, each forest and BLM district for its own — and posted together on the interagency fire information site.

Statewide, start with New Mexico Fire Information . Locally, the county itself has today's answer — the courthouse, the fire marshal, the sheriff's office, or your fire department.

Rules change fast in dry weather — confirm with your county fire marshal or burn line before you light.

Why it might be dry enough to matter

Restrictions follow dry ground — see this week's drought picture, state by state.

Heading onto national forest land? County rules stop at the boundary — check the forest's fire restrictions and what stage 1 and stage 2 mean.

Every New Mexico county

Each page below covers one county: who declares restrictions there, where to check, and how dry the ground is running.
