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.

U.S. Senators Ruben Gallego and Mark Kelly joined Gov. Katie Hobbs in calling on U.S. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum to launch a full investigation into the fire management decisions that led to the loss of the irreplaceable Grand Canyon Lodge on July 12.

Gov. Katie Hobbs questioned why the U.S. government decided to manage the Dragon Bravo fire, which started with a lightning strike, as a “controlled burn” during the height of the summer.

Tourists talk about their visit to the Grand Canyon as the Dragon Bravo Fire is seen from the Mather Point Overlook.

Fire activity on the Dragon Bravo Fire, located at Grand Canyon National Park’s North Rim, remains “extremely active,” according to an incident update Monday.
