Cottonwood Fire Rages Across Utah

The Cottonwood Fire in Utah is exploding out of control, now the largest wildfire in the U.S., devouring over 144 square miles and forcing evacuations as winds howl and humidity plummets. What started as a manageable blaze ballooned to 10,000 acres in a single day, with air tankers grounded and ash falling like rain. It’s already shuttered highways, campgrounds, and a ski resort, while air quality turns hazardous — all without a single injury or fatality. With record-warm winters leaving the land bone-dry and temperatures climbing, officials warn the worst is still ahead. Nationally, wildfires are already burning 3 million acres ahead of schedule — a terrifying preview of what’s to come. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
