Several wildfires are burning across Colorado’s Western Slope in mid-July 2025, impacting Mesa, Montrose, and Delta Counties. These fires were largely sparked by lightning strikes and are spreading rapidly due to dry conditions, steep terrain, and heavy fuels. The situation has caused poor air quality, prompting an air quality health advisory for wildfire smoke in affected counties until Friday, July 18th.

Hundreds of firefighters, along with fire engines, helicopters, and scooper planes, are working tirelessly to contain the flames. Despite these efforts, the difficult terrain and extreme dryness continue to make containment a challenge. The Colorado Governor has declared a disaster, unlocking state and federal resources to combat the growing threat.
