Major wildfires are burning in several western states, including Colorado. The state is currently dealing with five wildfires that have scorched a significant amount of land.

A recent meeting of western state governors discussed the need for cooperation between state and federal agencies on land management. This meeting took place in Deer Valley and included state and federal public lands officials.
