ALBUQUERQUE, NM – July 31, 2025 – The Cibola National Forest & National Grasslands (NF & NGs) has lifted Stage 1 Fire Restrictions effective Friday, August 1, 2025 on the Mt. Taylor and Magdalena 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.
