Three firefighters died and two others suffered severe burn injuries Saturday when a fast-moving wildfire in the Colorado-Utah border region overran their position amid hurricane-force winds and record heat. The National Fire Information Center declared "extremely critical fire weather" conditions rare for July across the Four Corners region—encompassing Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona. NOAA warns that the combination of the ongoing heat dome and dry conditions has created the highest wildfire danger the region has seen this decade.
