ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — The City of Albuquerque and Bernalillo County are reminding people of the restrictions on fireworks in the Albuquerque metro.
The city prohibits the sale and use of all aerial fireworks and ground audible devices within the city limits. The county also doesn’t allow these fireworks in unincorporated areas.
Aerial devices include:
- Aerial Spinners
- Helicopters
- Mines
- Missile-type Rockets
- Roman Candles
- Shells
- Stick Type Rockets
Ground audible devices include:
- Chasers (bottle rockets)
- Firecrackers
