CPR News: Three firefighters have died in large blaze along Colorado-Utah border
"...Three fighters were killed and two others were injured and transported to a hospital Saturday as they battled a wildfire in western Colorado. The wildland firefighters were involved in a burnover incident and deployed their shelters, according to a press release from the U.S. Dept. of the Interior.
“The U.S. Wildland Fire Service and the U.S. Forest Service are focused on supporting the firefighters’ family, friends and colleagues during this difficult time,” the release said.
Multiple fires have combined along the Colorado-Utah border, now called the Snyder-Mesa Fire, which is currently estimated to be more than 28,000 acres. That’s more than 40 square miles. As of Sunday morning, it was uncontained. ..."
