Utah Gov. Spencer Cox declared a 30-day state of emergency beginning July 31 as drought exacerbated the fire danger statewide. The order allows the government to use all available state resources to guard lives, homes, livestock and drinking-water supplies which have been threatened by this year’s severe fire season. It also authorizes the deployment of the Utah National Guard and streamlines assistance for local governments.
