The Dragon Bravo Fire has left a path of destruction in the Grand Canyon's North Rim, burning down the historic Grand Canyon Lodge. The National Park Service on July 19 released photos of the park, showing burned-down structures, charred mountainsides and a smoke-filled canyon.

A wildfire that tore through a historic Grand Canyon Lodge​ had been allowed to burn for days before erupting over the weekend, raising questions about federal officials' decision not to aggressively attack it right away.

The Dragon Bravo Fire has consumed over 11,000 acres and is 0% contained. The White sage Fire has spread across 58,631 acres and is 17% contained.

A combination of high winds, dry air and above average temperatures caused a wildfire in the Grand Canyon to rapidly expand and cause major damage.

The American Red Cross is deploying crews on the ground in northern Arizona to help families impacted by the Dragon Bravo and White Sage wildfires.

The fast-moving fire destroyed a historic lodge and dozens of other structures in the Grand Canyon National Park.

Wildfires can burn and spread differently depending on what vegetation they burn. The two fires in northern Arizona have varied landscapes. Ponderosa pine trees grow near the North Rim of the Grand Canyon and can live for hundreds of years.
