Two fast-moving wildfires—the Dragon Bravo and White Sage fires—have scorched more than 45,000 acres, destroyed the iconic North Rim lodge and dozens of structures, and led to long-term closures in the Grand Canyon.

In the last 24 hours, the fire jumped Highway 89A, a major corridor connecting the Grand Canyon’s North Rim to communities in southern Utah.

The fire that burned for days on the North Rim of Grand Canyon before it became uncontrollable was "expertly handled," the National Park Service said.

Dozens of buildings inside the North Rim of the Grand Canyon have been destroyed, including a historic lodge, as a chlorine gas leak has forced firefighter evacuations from the Dragon Bravo Fire.
