If a fire is 3'x3'x3' or less (basically a campfire) no permit is needed but common sense needs to be employed such as having a water source nearby, clearing fuels from the fire area (around and above), winds less than 5-7 mph, fire in a fire ring, and putting the fire dead out- cold to the touch.
If larger than that, call Chief Lee Taylor’s cell phone (505)269-6435 for a permit, He will visit the site where the burning will take place to make an assessment.
