## Resource

Utah’s Cottonwood Fire, now over 144 square miles, is racing through rugged terrain fueled by record-breaking dryness and wind, threatening ski resorts and cabins while straining firefighting resources. With the state’s worst wildfire season ever—thanks to record-low snowpack and the warmest winter on record—nearly three million acres have burned nationwide. Governor Cox declared a state of emergency, banning fireworks ahead of the Fourth of July and triggering power shutoffs across affected regions as fire behavior grows dangerously unpredictable.
