Utah governor declares state of emergency as wildfires rapidly spread across thousands of acres
Utah Governor Spencer Cox has declared a state of emergency as wildfires tear through thousands of acres, marking the state's most severe fire season in years. So far in 2025, Utah has recorded 693 wildfires, burning over 114,000 acres and devastating communities statewide, according to officials. The four largest active fires alone account for more than 100,000 acres burned, and suppression costs have surpassed $103 million across local, state and federal agencies. Cox, who has served in the position since 2021, signed Executive Order 2025-08 on Thursday, putting the emergency declaration into immediate effect for 30 days. The order mobilizes all available state resources to protect lives, homes, livestock, and drinking-water supplies. It also activates Utah 's emergency operations plan and authorizes the deployment of the Utah National Guard if needed. 'Heroic efforts are underway as firefighters and emergency personnel work around the clock to save homes and neighborhoods,' Cox said in a statement. 'We are mobilizing every tool at our disposal to support them and keep Utahns safe.' The largest of the devastating blazes is the Monroe Canyon Fire in Sevier County, which has scorched over 37,000 acres and is only 11 percent contained, according to the Utah Department of Natural Resources. The Monroe Canyon Fire has destroyed at least seven homes, as well as 12 power poles, causing widespread power outages across the state's south-central region. Cox is scheduled to travel to Richfield on Friday for a briefing on the fire and to meet with local officials and emergency responders. Continued critical fire conditions, including high temperatures, low humidity and gusty winds have complicated statewide firefighting operations, according to the governor's statement. The Beehive State has experienced 22 Red Flag Warning days this year - conditions marked by high winds, dry fuels, and low moisture levels. The extreme conditions follow record-low snowpack and precipitation, which extended an already dry period across the state. According to the U.S. Drought Monitor, more than 60 percent of the state is currently in severe or extreme drought, with the remainder in moderate drought. This year marks Utah's busiest wildfire season since 2020. Fires like the Forsyth Fire in Washington County and the Deer Creek Fire in San Juan County have already destroyed dozens of structures. In his statement, Cox also emphasized the human role in the wildfire crisis. His office reports that approximately 72 percent of Utah's wildfires in 2025 have been human-caused. 'Fire sense saves lives and property by reducing sparks from everyday activities and helping firefighters focus on blazes ignited by lightning,' Cox reminded the public. However, the governor stressed that public and firefighter safety remains the top priority - especially as the state faces longer-term risks from burn scars, debris flows, and post-fire flooding. Cox's emergency order will remain in effect for 30 days unless extended by the Utah Legislature. In addition to the blazes in Utah, over 90,000 acres are on fire in Arizona as part of the ongoing Dragon Bravo Fire. The Arizona Emergency Information Network reported only 4 percent containment as of Thursday evening. Now, wildfire smoke from Utah, as well as Arizona, has spread to Denver and much of Colorado, severely impacting air quality.

He said there was no indication that day about the flood risk or the disaster that would later Thomas told state lawmakers that he was woken up around 05:30 (11:30 BST) the next morning, when he was asked to immediately report to the sheriff's office.

Judge Rob Kelly, whose position functions as the county's chief executive officer, testified that he was away "at our lake house preparing for a family gathering".He also said that there was no flood alerts issued in the days before the disaster, and the intense flooding wasn't forecast by the National Weather have been raised about whether authorities provided adequate flood warnings before the disaster, and why people were not evacuated say there were a number of factors that contributed to the tragedy in Texas, including extreme weather, the location of some homes and Greg Abbott said authorities had issued a storm warning and knew about a possible flash flood, but "didn't know the magnitude of the storm".
