Episode Details

Utah’s skies are choked with wildfire smoke, turning day into dusk and coating everything in ash—from Salt Lake City to central Utah. Visibility is nearly zero, mountains vanish behind a wall of haze, and fine PM2.5 particles pose serious health risks for kids, elders, and those with heart or lung conditions. Scientists link the thick smoke to burning vegetation, while firefighters battle multiple blazes including Johnson Canyon and Black Canyon. With dry, hot weather making wildfires more frequent, experts warn this is now the “new normal.” Stay indoors, check air quality, and protect your AC units—because Utah’s smoky West isn’t going anywhere soon.
