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.
