Stage 1 Fire Restrictions took effect on the Navajo Nation effective immediately in response to severe drought conditions and increasing fire hazards after Navajo Nation Buu Nygren signed an executive order. A number of wildfires were already burning in Arizona and New Mexico. The order also prohibits the sale, possession, or use of fireworks and other pyrotechnics on Navajo lands as well as open fires and the use of charcoal or coal outdoors.
