The Navajo Nation has issued Executive Order 02-2026, placing the Nation under Stage 1 Fire Restrictions due to dangerous wildfire conditions caused by extreme heat, dry weather, strong winds, and low humidity. Fireworks and most outdoor fires are prohibited, while ceremonial fires require advance registration with the Navajo Nation Environmental Protection Agency. Violators may face fines of up to five thousand dollars. Residents are urged to report wildland fires immediately and exercise extreme caution.
