The wind driven Dragon Bravo fire jumped containment lines on the park's north rim over the weekend. On Saturday night it grew five hundred acres, destroying more than fifty structures, including the nineteen thirties era Grand Canyon Lodge. Park officials say the fire also burned the water treatment facility, releasing poisonous chlorine gas and forcing firefighters to pull back. The North Rim is closed for the season, while the popular South Rim remains open. Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs called for an independent investigation into the fire on Sunday. She says Arizonans deserve to know why the federal government chose to manage the fire as a controlled burn during the hottest part of Arizona's summer.
