A rapidly growing White Sage Fire, which started on July 9 approximately 15 miles southeast of Fredonia on Bureau of Land Management lands, has expanded to nearly 50,000 acres with zero containment as of July 14.

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.
