Utah Gov. Spencer Cox declared a state of emergency and imposed temporary fireworks limits through July 5 amid severe drought and multiple large wildfires, including the uncontained Cottonwood Fire. The fire, which started Monday and reached nearly 111 square miles, is the nation's largest and has damaged the Eagle Point ski resort while prompting evacuations. A disputed claim of a full statewide ban was contradicted by primary reports specifying narrower, time-limited rules.
