On the day you burn

1 Before you light

Call Apache County Sheriff’s Office, (928) 337-4321, option 6. Ask if restrictions are in place. Give your address, a phone number, and the time you will burn.

2 When the fire is out

Call the Sheriff again at (928) 337-4321, option 6. Tell them you have stopped and the fire is extinguished.

3 Tell Concho Fire

Call (928) 337-2681. Give your address, phone, and burn time. Suggested, not required — so we know the smoke is yours.

Keep it safe

No burning on Red Flag days. Check restrictions that morning.
Burn early. Out before sunset. Wind picks up later in the day.
Low or no wind. Water, shovel, and rake on hand. Clear a berm around the pile.

Do not leave it. Not for a minute.
Welding: wet the grass or use a blanket. A spotter watches sparks you cannot see.
If you need help with the burn, dial 911.
