Wildfire Warning Across West

Wildfire danger is exploding across the West — California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico are all under extreme fire weather alerts. Red flag warnings cover parts of California’s Mojave Desert and Death Valley, with dangerously dry conditions and strong winds priming the landscape for fast-spreading flames. Utah’s Cottonwood Fire has scorched over 70,000 acres and damaged a ski resort, while southeastern Utah faces a rare “particularly dangerous situation” alert. With the Fourth of July approaching, Cal Fire urges caution with fireworks — only legal “safe and sane” options are allowed, and illegal ones can lead to injuries, wildfires, and jail time. Residents are urged to pack emergency kits, sign up for alerts at ready.ca.gov, and prepare to evacuate if needed. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
