## Resource

A deadly wildfire near Salt Lake City forced evacuations but spared homes thanks to a backburn effort—though officials say it was human-caused and under investigation. This isn’t an isolated incident: Utah has six active fires, Colorado faces red flag warnings, and the entire West is gripped by extreme heat and drought. Tragically, three hikers died in the Grand Canyon last week from the heat. Temperatures are soaring—with Carlsbad, NM hitting 108°F—while Florida also battles a massive brush fire. The fire danger is spreading nationwide as heatwaves persist. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
