A tough burning ban was issued for at least one New Mexico County.
Residents in Curry County are facing severe restrictions on open fires after county commissioners voted Tuesday to implement a fire danger emergency resolution.
The fire ban becomes effective immediately and contains limited exceptions for agriculture, such as controlled burns, under certain conditions.
