Vehicle Fire Grand Junction Colorado in Grand Junction, Colorado: Three firefighters were killed and two others suffered burn injuries after being overtaken by flames during a burnover incident while battling fast-moving wildfires near the Colorado-Utah border in Mesa County, Colorado. The firefighters deployed emergency shelters as fires burned through hot, windy terrain and were part of an interagency response to the Knowles and Gore fires, which merged with other fires to form the Snyder Fire. The Mesa County Sheriff's Office urged residents in the possible path of the fire to evacuate, and the Bureau of Land Management closed nearby public lands to protect firefighters and the public.
