THERE ARE RULES REGARDING BURNING OF VEGETATION IN ALBUQUERQUE. A SHED FIRE STARTED BY A PILE BURN DONE TOO CLOSE TO IT ON THURSDAY MORNING IS A GOOD REMINDER WHY THOSE RULES ARE IN PLACE. THE SHED FIRE ON SAN PABLO NORTHEAST WAS QUICKLY EXTINGUISHED BY A-F-D.
NOW THE DEPARTMENT WANTS TO MAKE SURE YOU KNOW THAT ALL BURNING MUST BE DONE AT LEAST 50 FEET AWAY FROM ANY STRUCTURE. ALSO, IF THE WIND EXCEEDS 15 MILES PER HOUR THEN ALL BURNING MUST BE IMMEDIATELY DISCONTINUED.
