The Dragon Bravo Fire -- the wildfire along the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park that destroyed the nearly century-old Grand Canyon Lodge -- is expected to pick back up as weather trends hotter and drier into the coming weekend.

The building was surrounded by vegetation on fire when a team of “helitack” firefighters arrived to protect the area on Tuesday. Grand Canyon National Park officials said the crews knew if the pump house fell, the consequences could cripple park operations for months.

The lightning-caused wildfire that consumed roughly 70 structures seemed unremarkable for days. High winds changed that.

Gov. Katie Hobbs said that once the Dragon Bravo Fire — one of the wildfires burning north of the Grand Canyon — is under control, the decision-making process for how the fire was handled needs to be looked at.

Meteorologists are key to fire management, and the Dragon Bravo Fire didn’t have one on scene until Monday, several days after the damage was done.

The lightning-caused Dragon Bravo Fire stays at zero percent containment despite lower temperatures and higher humidities lessening the fire behavior.

Sen. Mark Kelly says, despite the damage done by the Dragon Bravo Fire, letting some fires burn can be important to reduce risk.
