3 firefighters killed in blazes along Colorado-Utah border are identified

Three firefighters were killed and two others were injured in wildfires along the Colorado-Utah border after flames overtook them while deploying emergency shelters. The deceased were part of a specialized Helitack crew deployed to remote areas to combat new fires. Wildfires have rapidly spread across the West due to dry weather and low snowfall, with over 4,600 square miles burned this year.
