    Today’s brief leads with the Western heat-and-fire surge: Utah’s human-caused Iron Fire has grown to nearly 22,000 acres and forced the full evacuation of Eureka, while Arizona’s Pocket Fire keeps Oak Creek Canyon under evacuation orders north of Sedona. The National Interagency Fire Center holds the country at Preparedness Level 3 with 28 uncontained large fires, and active blazes persist across Nevada, California, Florida, and Washington. We also cover a two-sided weather pattern of dangerous heat in the West and South and severe storms in the East, a quiet tropics outlook, and a calm window on the terrorism, cyber, and seismic fronts.
