[Incident Information - Texas A&M Forest Service @AllHazardsTFS]

Due to a significant increase in fire activity across the state, potential for large fires as well as the increased commitment of state and local resources to fires, Texas A&M Forest Service has raised the State Preparedness Level to Level 4 (PL 4).

[Utah Fire Info @UtahWildfire]

Just like you, flames need air to breathe. If you're working to extinguish a blaze effectively, try covering your campfire with dirt and water and stir it well. Repeat until it's cool to the touch. Whenever you light a fire, prepare beforehand with a shovel and water. #FireSense

The Cutoff Ridge Fire is currently 430 acres & remains in the 2016 Coyote Fire footprint. It is the 3rd time most of this area has seen fire in the last 15 years. This fire history continues to minimize the Fire’s speed and intensity. Photo: The Cutoff Ridge Fire looking south.

💥🛞 Prevent wildfires by ensuring your vehicle is in good repair. Maintain brake pads to prevent metal on metal rubbing, causing sparks to ignite roadside vegetation.
