Hot, dry and windy conditions continue to fuel extreme wildfire risk across parts of the West, as firefighters continue to battle multiple fires, including the Old Trails Fire. Poor air quality alerts are in place as fires continue to burn, uncontained. Windy conditions will allow for fires to spread rapidly. Winds could gust up to 40 mph, which will make it difficult for firefighters. Watch for the latest on the wildfire threat.
