The Dragon Bravo Fire left the historic North Rim Grand Canyon Lodge in ruins. Here's what those on the frontlines and who knew the park best said.
Gov. Katie Hobbs questioned why the U.S. government decided to manage the Dragon Bravo fire, which started with a lightning strike, as a “controlled burn” during the height of the summer.
As of Monday, the Dragon Bravo fire on the North Rim had consumed more than 5,700 acres and was not contained, according to the U.S. Forest Service.
Fire activity on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon has forced the closure of several trails and campgrounds. Meanwhile, life goes on at the South Rim where tourists endured a smokey visit Monday.
