The three firefighters died while battling wildfires that later became known as the fast-growing Snyder Fire, which has burned more than 28,000 acres along the Utah-Colorado border, the US Wildland Fire Service

Three firefighters died and two were injured after being overtaken by flames while battling a wildfire in western Colorado, one of several that have together consumed tens of thousands of acres, federal officials reported Sunday.
The fatal blaze started as two small fires sparked by lightning in eastern Utah: the Snyder Mesa and Jones fires, according to the
Moab Valley Fire Department
. Winds pushed the flames east into western Colorado’s Mesa County, where the two fires converged and overtook the already-burning Knowles and Gore fires.
Together, the four fires formed the 28,264-acre
Snyder Mesa fire
, according to
Utah’s wildfire dashboard
.
Five federal firefighters — part of an interagency response to the Knowles and Gore fires – were caught by the rapidly spreading flames in what federal officials described as a “burnover inc…

(CNN) —
Three firefighters have died battling a fast-moving blaze along the Colorado-Utah border, officials said, as dozens of infernos rage across the West, with Utah imposing sweeping restrictions on Fourth of July fireworks ahead of the nation’s 250th Independence Day.
The National Weather Service has issued the
highest possible fire weather risk
, warning dry air and windy gusts pose an “extremely critical” risk of fire conditions over the Four Corners region this weekend.
The three firefighters died while battling wildfires that later became known as the fast-growing Snyder Fire, which has burned more than 28,000 acres along the Utah-Colorado border, the US Wildland Fire Service
said
late Saturday. Two others were transported to a hospital where they were treated for burn injuries, the service said.

A helicopter drops water on the Cottonwood Fire in Beaver, Utah, on Saturday, June 27, 2026.
Three firefighters have died and two others have been injured Saturday while they tackled blazes on the Colorado-Utah border, the
U.S. Wildland Fire Service
has announced. The agency said the crew members had been part of an interagency response to the Knowles and Gore fires.
"The U.S. Wildland Fire Service stands united with the USDA Forest Service in grief and in our unwavering support for the loved ones left behind," the service said in a statement on Facebook. "Their bravery, dedication, and sacrifice will never be forgotten."
In a
press release
, the Department of the Interior said that the five firefighters were involved in a "burnover incident", which refers to when officials are unable to find an escape route, so have to shelter as best they can while a fire passes directly over them. The department said the two firefighters who survived were being treated for burn injuries.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KJCT) — Three firefighters died Saturday while responding to the outbreak of wildfires that became the Snyder Fire.
A total of five firefighters were involved in the incident, according to the U.S. Wildland Fire Service. Three were killed, and two were medically evacuated. The two survivors were hospitalized by their injuries.
The firefighters were responding to the Knowles and Gore Fires, the service said. Both of those fires are now part of the much larger Snyder Fire, which is currently burning over 28,000 acres.
None of the five were immediately identified by authorities, but the service said that it would share further details as it is able to.
The U.S. Wildland Fire Service said that its immediate focus now is to support the families, friends, and crewmates of the three firefighters who died fighting the blazes on Colorado’s western slope.

Three firefighters died and two were injured after being overtaken by flames while battling a wildfire in western Colorado, one of several that have together consumed tens of thousands of acres, federal officials reported Sunday.
The fatal blaze started as two small fires sparked by lightning in eastern Utah: the Snyder Mesa and Jones fires, according to the
Moab Valley Fire Department
