Stage 1 Fire Restrictions Lifted
on Mountainair and Sandia Ranger Districts

*Effective Monday July 21st*

*Termination of Stage 1 Fire Restriction Order Number: 03-03-00-25-12 *



*ALBUQUERQUE, NM – July 21, 2025 *– The Cibola National Forest & National
Grasslands (NF & NGs) has lifted Stage 1 Fire Restrictions effective Monday
July 21, 2025, on the Mountainair and Sandia Ranger Districts.



This decision follows careful monitoring of fuel moisture, weather
patterns, and fire activity.



Forest visitors are reminded that the fire season is not over, and fire
prevention remains a shared responsibility. While the monsoon rains will
bring relief, fire managers ask the public to always practice fire safety
with anything that can spark a fire. Leaving your campfire unattended is
illegal year-round. Campfires must be dead out – cold to the touch – before
you walk away.



The Cibola NF & NGs wants to acknowledge our continued appreciation to
wildland firefighters and support personnel for providing preventive
measures and response to protecting our communities and natural resources.



Mt. Taylor and Magdalena Ranger Districts remain in Stage 1 Fire
Restrictions:

•   Mt. Taylor Ranger District: Stage 1 Fire Restriction remain in effect
through July 31, 2025 unless rescinded. (order #03-03-02-25-05).

•   Magdalena Ranger District: Stage 1 Fire Restriction remain in effect
through July 31, 2025 unless rescinded. (order #03-03-03-25-08).



The official termination of stage 1 fire restriction order for Mountainair
and Sandia Ranger Districts (03-03-00-25-12) is posted on the Cibola
National Forest and National Grasslands Alerts & Notices
