The City of Albuquerque may issue burn restrictions from October 1 through February 28/29. Before issuing a burn restriction, we evaluate current pollutant levels, daily weather patterns, air movement, and temperature levels.
There is an applicable burn-down period for fires that were started the morning the noburn call was made. The burn-down period provides 3 hours (until 2 p.m.) for any existing fires to burn out.
From March 1 through September 30, you may burn in the fireplace or wood stove at your convenience as long as there is not excessive smoke.
