Here’s a look at some local news brought to you by Silver City Radio.
Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham has signed an executive order urging New Mexico municipalities and counties to ban the retail sale of fireworks in their communities. According to a news release, the request for additional preventative action comes as numerous wildfires burn throughout New Mexico and severe drought conditions persist across the state. “The executive order follows the implementation of statewide fire restrictions prohibiting fireworks, outdoor smoking, campfires, and open burning for all non-municipal, non-federal and non-tribal lands. According to the United States Drought Monitor, over 70% of New Mexico is experiencing extreme to exceptional drought conditions, with 93% of the state experiencing at least severe drought conditions.”
