Utah’s Biggest Fire Rages On

Utah’s Cottonwood Fire rages out of control, devouring 112 square miles and forcing evacuations as winds howl at 45 mph and humidity plummets—conditions so extreme air support was grounded. Now the largest fire in the U.S., it’s already destroyed Eagle Point ski resort and blanketed towns like Marysvale in ash and smoke. Experts warn this is unprecedented for Utah, with 48 hours of deadly weather looming. As smoke drifts into Colorado and the West braces for more fires—nearly 3 million acres burned this year, far above average—officials urge extreme caution, especially with the Fourth of July approaching. Human-caused sparks remain the biggest threat. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
