Daily Wildfire Report
Wildfire danger remains low across New Mexico with no active fires
Wildfire activity across New Mexico is quiet with no active fires burning statewide.
Conditions and Outlook
No fire-weather watches or red flag warnings are in effect, and significant fire potential remains at its lowest level statewide. A wet autumn weather pattern will keep fire danger low through the weekend with cooler temperatures and scattered showers. Breezy conditions with gusty winds are expected to return to northeastern New Mexico and areas along the Colorado border early in the week.
Burn Bans and Land Management
Prescribed pile burns are underway or scheduled across the Santa Fe, Cibola, and Lincoln National Forests as favorable moisture permits. Localized smoke may drift toward Tijeras and settle overnight in Alto, Capitan, and Nogal.
What Residents Should Do
- Slow down and turn on headlights when driving through smoke near prescribed burn areas.
- Do not call 911 to report smoke from monitored forest management burns.
- Watch for fire personnel and equipment along Sandia Ranger District trails and forest roads.
