No-burn days · Albuquerque & Bernalillo County
Is tonight a no-burn night in Albuquerque?
The Albuquerque Environmental Health Department posts each day's answer itself — by the channels below, not as a feed we could read without guessing. So this page tells you how the program works and exactly where today's call lives; it never shows a status we don't have.
How the program works here
Albuquerque’s Environmental Health Department runs a Burn / No-Burn program for wood burning from October through February. By the city’s own account, a No-Burn order “has not been necessary since December 2006” — but when one is called, it is published on the Air Quality Program’s website and sent to local news.
There is no daily feed to read, so this page carries no live status. Check the city’s page below before lighting on a cold, still winter night.
Season: October through February.

No-burn calls flip with the evening forecast — confirm with the Albuquerque Environmental Health Department before you light. What you read here is not permission to burn.
The fire-season side of the question
A no-burn day is about winter air, not wildfire. The dry-season version — county burn bans and fire restrictions — lives on this site's find-your-county page and the New Mexico page . And if the fire is a woodpile question, the firewood BTU chart covers what a cleaner, drier cord actually buys you.
