I believe I heard it was threatening Jacobs Lake Lodge and burned down the Grand Canyon lodge on ABC news radio this morning.

 

[TheCougar]

It burned the entire north rim. GCL, and all the other buildings are gone.

Crazy, I hunted that country for 20 years (archery and gun) Sad to see it burn. Hope it does not get as large as the Magnum fire.

I wish our government would upgrade our firefighting ability, we need airplanes, choppers and other resources.

Aren't we talking about 2 different fires here, one in Grand Canyon National Park (Dragon Bravo Fire) and one north in the Kaibab (White Sage fire)?

 

[Weldor]

I am referencing Sage, but yes there are 2 burning up there. Dragon is south on the North rim.

Yes

The Dragon Bravo fire now sits at 5,000 acres and remains 0% contained. Dozens of firefighters are assigned to battle the blaze.

A chlorine gas leak from the water treatment system forced a pullout of all the Dragon Bravo fire crews. They shut down and evacuated several trail systems as well over that.

Crews are also battling the White Sage Fire, which is burning just north of the North Rim and has consumed over 10,000 acres.
