Summary
Utah’s Cottonwood Fire, now the largest in the U.S. at over 112 square miles, is exploding under brutal conditions—45 mph winds, single-digit humidity, and record-breaking heat. Firefighters are overwhelmed as flames race through drought-blasted terrain, forcing evacuations, destroying Eagle Point ski resort, and blanketing Marysvale in ash. With a cold front looming and red flag warnings stretching from Idaho to Arizona, utility shutoffs are being enacted nationwide. Experts warn this isn’t just a local crisis—it’s part of a national trend: nearly 3 million acres burned this year, fueled by human activity and worsening weather. As July 4 nears, officials are begging for caution—because this firestorm is only getting worse. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
