The fire that burned for days on the North Rim of Grand Canyon before it became uncontrollable was "expertly handled," the National Park Service said.

The Grand Canyon Lodge was the park's one and only hotel, according the National Park Service, with the next nearest lodgings roughly 18 miles away.

The Dragon Bravo Fire has burned thousands of acres along the North Rim of the Grand Canyon and destroyed dozens of structures, including the historic Grand Canyon Lodge. FOX 10's Taylor Wirtz spoke to a woman whose family watched the lodge burn.
