At least 388 fires have raged across Utah so far during the 2026 fire season. With those fires, close to 250,000 acres were burned by Sunday, according to the Utah Fire Info. The number of acres burned by wildfires already surpassed the number of acres burned in 2025, when nearly 165,000 acres were recorded to have burned across the state. As the fires continue to ignite throughout the state, three firefighters were killed in the Snyder Fire, a fire located on the border of Colorado and Utah.
