A series of wildfires have caused significant devastation across the western United States, with one blaze in Colorado resulting in a confirmed death and rapid spread threatening homes. The Stone Canyon Fire near Lyons has consumed over 1,300 acres and remains uncontained, while the nearby Alexander Mountain Fire has also prompted evacuations and has grown to nearly 6,800 acres. In California, the Park Fire has become the largest active wildfire in the nation, burning approximately 390,000 acres and leading to mass evacuations due to its severity. Firefighters are facing challenging conditions exacerbated by intense heat waves and dry vegetation. Amid these crises, an American woman was found after allegedly surviving 40 days without food and water while shackled in India, and a father-son duo in Toronto was arrested for planning a violent attack linked to a terrorist group. Additionally, a mafia-linked inmate in Quebec was hospitalized following a brutal assault in prison.
