Last update: 3 hours agoWildfire tragedy on the CO-UT border: Three wildland firefighters died in a “burnover” while trying to deploy emergency shelters as the Snyder Fire surged; investigators say the crew was overwhelmed during rapidly escalating conditions tied to drought and record-low snowpack. Fire danger and closures: Western Colorado and eastern Utah stayed under red-flag conditions, with air-quality health advisories issued as smoke drifted; Rocky Mountain National Park moved to a full fire ban, and Colorado River access from Fruita to the Utah line was closed to protect public safety and firefighting operations. Utah wildfire impacts: Utah’s Cottonwood Fire kept expanding (near 94,000 acres reported), with crews building lines and using helicopters where terrain blocks access. Water under pressure: Ogden began drawing down Pineview Reservoir to replace an aging pipeline beneath it, aiming to reduce losses and keep water flowing for 120,000+ customers despite low snowpack.
