Santa Fe County FD

Due to extreme drought conditions and increased fire danger, the Santa Fe County Board of County Commissioners has approved temporary fireworks restrictions for unincorporated areas of Santa Fe County and all wildlands countywide.

The 30-day resolution bans the sale and use of certain fireworks, including missile-type rockets, aerial spinners, and other high-risk devices, to help reduce the risk of human-caused wildfires and protect public safety, firefighters, homes, and natural resources.

Residents are urged to use caution and follow all fire restrictions in place this summer.
