## Resource

A deadly wildfire in Utah’s Iron Fire forced evacuations near Salt Lake City, fueled by extreme heat and dry winds—but no homes were lost thanks to a successful backburn effort. Officials confirmed human involvement and are investigating. This blaze is part of a dangerous trend across the West, where six fires burned simultaneously in Utah, and Colorado faced red flag warnings amid soaring temperatures. The region’s drought worsened, with Utah, Arizona, and Colorado in severe to extreme conditions. Tragically, extreme heat claimed three lives in the Grand Canyon last week. Meanwhile, Florida battled a massive brush fire in Miami-Dade County, showing how extreme weather is wreaking havoc nationwide.
