Mountainair Fire Works Ban Remains In Place

Recent rain fall has not been enough to eliminate fire danger and as such the ban on fire works remains in place. Below is the ban notice issued Jund 20, 2008;

NOTICE:

Pursuant to Chapter IV, Article 1, Section 11, of the code of Ordinances, Mountainair, New Mexico, 1977, and restrictions issued by the New Mexico State Forester, the Town of Mountainair is issuing restrictions on all open fires and smoking within the municipal boundaries. These restrictions include, but are not limited to fireworks of any kind, the burning of trash, lumber, leaves, straw, or any other combustible material. Smoking is allowed only within an enclosed vehicle or building. Gas and charcoal grills are allowed, provided the devices meet the fire underwriter’s specifications for safety. High daytime temperatures, low humidity, lack of precipitation, and frequent windy days have caused the need for these restrictions to be imposed.

These restrictions will take effect on Friday, June 20, 2008 at 8:00 am. It is so dry, please comply!
