PHOENIX — Residents on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon have been ordered to evacuate due to a fire in Grand Canyon National Park. The fire, named the Dragon Bravo Fire, is approximately 5,716 acres and has 0% containment. It was caused by lightning on July 4, officials with the National Park Service said.

The White Sage Fire is located on Bureau of Land Management land, west of Jacob Lake and southeast of Fredonia.

A group of bipartisan lawmakers and officials have called for an investigation into how the Dragon Bravo Fire was able to grow and destroy dozens of structures, including the historic Grand Canyon Lodge.

The Grand Canyon's North Bravo Fire intensified on July 11, the day before Katy Rock Shop owner Jacob Proctor and his family arrived at the national park.

The Dragon Bravo Fire started on July 4 and was managed at first as a controlled burn. Then the wind picked up, and it quickly became uncontrollable.
