Arizona officials are pressing for an investigation into the National Park Service's handling of the Dragon Bravo Fire, which spread after being managed as a controlled burn.
Fire activity on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon has forced the closure of several trails and campgrounds. Meanwhile, life goes on at the South Rim where tourists endured a smokey visit Monday.
Officials have closed the North Rim of the Grand Canyon as the White Sage Fire burns near the town of Fredonia. Just 35 miles south, the Bravo Dragon Fire has destroyed structures inside the park.
As of Monday, the Dragon Bravo fire on the North Rim had consumed more than 5,700 acres and was not contained, according to the U.S. Forest Service.
Eight candidates will go before southern Arizona voters at the ballot box Tuesday in special congressional primaries to replace longtime Democratic U.S. Rep. Raúl Grijalva.
