Wildfire Preparedness is Year-Round

Spark Celebration this July 4th, Not Wildfire!

Santa Fe, NM – July 1, 2021 – Americans celebrate the signing of the Declaration of Independence on the Fourth of July by participating in popular Independence Day traditions, including fireworks, parades, picnics, barbecues, and recreating on national forests and other public lands. While these pastimes usually make happy memories, if handled irresponsibly, they can put our public lands and communities at risk from human-ignited wildfires – the leading cause of wildfire across New Mexico.
