The lightning-caused wildfire that consumed roughly 70 structures seemed unremarkable for days. High winds changed that.

The White Sage Fire, burning in northern Arizona near the destructive Dragon Bravo Fire, continues to grow with evacuations still in place.

Abnormally dry, hot conditions near the Grand Canyon's North Rim allowed the Dragon Bravo Fire to grow rapidly.

Crews fighting the Dragon Bravo Fire on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon have successfully safeguarded a critical drinking water pumphouse.

“The North Rim of the Grand Canyon is like another world,” said Ethan Aumack, executive director of the Grand Canyon Trust, who has fond memories of skiing through the woods to the rim after the lone road that leads there closes for the winter. “It feels like a much more personal place.”

The fire on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon started from a lightning strike but was managed as a controlled burn until it spread.

Arizona officials are pressing for an investigation into the National Park Service's handling of the Dragon Bravo Fire, which spread after being managed as a controlled burn.
