Grand Canyon Wildfire: Governor Calls for Investigation | JQJO

Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs surveyed the extensive damage caused by the Dragon Bravo wildfire at the Grand Canyon's North Rim. The fire, initially managed using a 'confine and contain' strategy, rapidly escalated due to strong winds and dry conditions. Over 70 structures, including the Grand Canyon Lodge, were destroyed. Hobbs is calling for an investigation into the fire's handling, though she hasn't yet blamed resource shortages. She will meet with federal officials to discuss the situation and mitigation efforts. The North Rim remains closed.
