A fast-moving wildfire in Utah, the largest in the US, spread overnight due to heat and dry winds, forcing evacuations and damaging the Eagle Point ski resort. The Cottonwood Fire, covering over 144 square miles, caused unhealthy air quality in areas like Marysvale and led to highway closures. Officials noted extreme weather conditions and warned of continued critical fire behavior.
