Wildfire Devastates Grand Canyon Lodge and Prompts Evacuations

A wildfire in Arizona, called the Dragon Bravo Fire, destroyed the historic Grand Canyon Lodge on the North Rim, leading to the closure of the area for the season. The fire has scorched over 5,000 acres, destroyed 50 to 80 structures including the lodge, and prompted evacuations, but no injuries or deaths have been reported. The North Rim will remain closed for the rest of 2025, and officials are under scrutiny for their emergency response.
