ALBUQUERQUE – Hundreds of firefighters spent Sunday scouring steep and rugged terrain just east of the Arizona-New Mexico border for any hot spots left from a wildfire that has scorched more than 22 square miles of the Navajo Nation.

Some pockets of piñon and juniper were still smoldering and flames were creeping along the interior of the Assayii Lake Fire. But many parts have started to cool down, giving crews a chance to mop up along the edges of the blaze.

Containment reached 60 percent Sunday, and confidence was growing among firefighters since their lines held against brisk winds Saturday.

As firefighters worked to boost containment, officials at the tribe’s emergency management department were fielding questions about how they have been handling donations. Some community members took to social media and accused the tribe of not distributing food, water and other supplies that have flooded in over the last week.

The emergency management department said Sunday that it has requested that donations of items stop. The department said it has been overwhelmed and needs time to sort through the bounty to determine what might be perishable so those items can be distributed first.
