How will I know if I can or can't burn?
It is your responsibility to know the Green, Yellow, Red Burn Code Program. The Air Quality Management Divison (AQMD) provides five ways for you to find out the day’s burn status:
  • Call the air quality hotline at (775) 785-4110 for daily recorded burn status information;
  • Sign-up for a daily air quality update email by contacting the AQMD at (775) 784-7200;
  • Listen to television and radio weather forecasts;
  • Check the Reno-Gazette Journal's weather page; or
