Los Alamos County Enters Stage 1 Fire Restrictions
COUNTY News:
Los Alamos Fire Department Fire Marshal Wendy Servey announced today that she is enacting Stage 1 Fire Restrictions for Los Alamos County, effective Monday, May 24.
Servey said the decision was made in partnership with LAFD’s Wildland Division today after reviewing the potential threat of wildfire.
“Seasonal fire restrictions are often developed based on specific criteria related to wildland fire risk, such as moisture content of vegetation, weather outlooks, human risk factors and firefighting resource availability,” Survey said. “Cooperation of agency partners (Los Alamos Fire Department, Los Alamos National Lab, New Mexico State Forestry, Santa Fe National Forest, Bandelier) share information and monitor regional weather conditions and take a team approach to reducing wildfire risk.”
