ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — The Cibola National Forest and National Grasslands is lifting fire restrictions because widespread precipitation from the monsoon has substantially reduced the fire danger.
Cibola's announcement Thursday say the restrictions will be lifted at 8 a.m. Friday and that the decision resulted from consideration of moisture levels, recent and predict rainfall and other weather conditions.
Cibola's lifting of fire restrictions follows recent moves by the Carson and Santa Fe national forests in northern New Mexico to reopen trails, campgrounds and other areas that were closed because of wildfire danger.
Speaking of the monsoon, we're supposed to have thunderstorms in the Jamestown area this afternoon. I've been enjoying the light shows from them.
