Albuquerque, NM (KKOB) –Stage 2 fire restrictions are now in effect across all tribal lands as Navajo Nation officials respond to heightened wildfire conditions across the region. The executive order took affect on Monday and cited prolonged heat, low humidity, limited rainfall and strong winds as factors creating an elevated fire risk. Any outdoor fires, debris burning, fireworks and most charcoal or wood burning activities are prohibited. Fines of up to $5,000 are possible for anyone found violating the restrictions. The order will remain in effect until conditions improve.
