Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs is demanding a federal investigation into the management of the Dragon Bravo wildfire, which has burned over 5,700 acres and devastated the Grand Canyon's North Rim. Hobbs questions the initial decision to treat the fire as a controlled burn, citing concerns about potential federal budget cuts impacting response effectiveness. Attorney General Kris Mayes also raised concerns about potential impacts of budget cuts. Sens. Kelly and Gallego have joined in demanding answers and preventative measures from the Department of the Interior, with Hobbs planning a meeting to discuss the issue.
