New Mexico Lifts Fire Ban

Santa Fe, NM —

The New Mexico Forestry Division is lifting restrictions on smoking, fireworks, campfires and open fires in 20 of the state’s 33 counties.

The ban was issued on May 13 because of dry weather and high fire danger. The order will be lifted June 1 at 8 a.m.

Lincoln National Forest officials also plan to lift Stage 2 restrictions Monday, but fireworks are banned in the forest.

Officials said consistent rainfall and higher humidity across New Mexico has lessened fire danger.
