Most of the fires are burning in Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, regions plagued with dangerous fire conditions, which have allowed the wildfires to explode as soon as they sparked.
The Cooks Peak Fire in northern New Mexico is the largest at nearly 52,000 acres and is 9% contained, according to officials. While evacuations have been lifted for the Tunnel Fire in Coconino County, it is still only 15% contained and had scorched more than 21,000 acres since it sparked on April 17.
In Nebraska, one person was killed in Red Willow County and three firefighters were injured while attempting to mitigate fires spreading across 12 counties, according to the state's emergency management agency. Earlier this month, an elderly couple was killed in their Ruidoso, New Mexico, home after they did not evacuate from the McBride Fire in time.
Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey and New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham have both declared a state of emergency due to severe wildfire activity.
