Utah Fire Threatens Forests Amidst Human-Caused Incidents and Development Plans
The largest wildfire in the United States, the Cottonwood Fire, continued to spread through Utah’s dry canyons and mountainsides. The blaze has already damaged the Eagle Point ski resort and destroyed summer cabins in Beaver County, prompting damage assessments. Higher humidity offered some relief to firefighters, though strong winds persisted, contributing to an elevated fire danger across the arid state and much of the West.
