A wildfire along the Grand Canyon’s North Rim has burned for more than a week, destroying the historic Grand Canyon Lodge. The Dragon Bravo Fire, which destroyed the lodge last weekend, was sparked by lightning on 4 July. It is one of two wildfires in the area. The White Sage fire charred 63 square miles of terrain by Sunday afternoon. Katie Hobbs, Arizona’s governor, called for a federal investigation into the park service’s handling of the Dragon Bravo fire. In a social media post, the governor said: ‘Arizonans deserve answers for how this fire was allowed to decimate the Grand Canyon National Park’
