Wildfires Rage Across Southwest

Wildfires are exploding across the Southwest, with dangerous blazes spreading in Utah, Arizona, and Colorado fueled by relentless heat, dryness, and wind. The Beehive Fire near Tres Piedras is racing toward Lamy Peak, while the tragic loss of three firefighters battling a fire near the Colorado-Utah border serves as a grim reminder of the risks these heroes face. In the Jemez Mountains, evacuations are underway as the McCauley Springs Fire forces Highway 4 closures and campfire bans. Nationally, over 4,700 square miles have burned this year—more than the 10-year average—with Utah’s Cottonwood Fire alone swallowing 140 square miles. Governors in Utah and Colorado have declared emergencies, deploying the National Guard as crews battle a brutal fire season that shows no sign of slowing down.
