RESTRICTIONS DUE TO FIRE DANGER
ATTENTION FAIR HEIGHTS RESIDENTS
The following message is from Bernalillo County and the City of Albuquerque sent 6/28/11:
“City and county leaders and fire officials are strongly discouraging the use of fireworks except at public events such as the City of Albuquerque’s Freedom Fourth celebration, Isotopes Park and the City of Rio Rancho’s annual Pork & Brew, just to name a few. While state law allows restrictions to be imposed, an outright ban of the sale of fireworks is prohibited by state law. As permitted by state law and city ordinance, the City of Albuquerque along with jurisdictions across the state have banned the sale and use of all aerial type fireworks and fire crackers that are louder than a paper pistol cap. Aerial fireworks are illegal, defined as fireworks that go more than 10′ feet in the air or move outside of a 6′ circle.” These restrictions have been put in place due to the extremely dry conditions and potential for fires.
