The lightning-caused wildfire that consumed roughly 70 structures seemed unremarkable for days. High winds changed that.

The White Sage Fire, burning in northern Arizona near the destructive Dragon Bravo Fire, continues to grow with evacuations still in place.

Meteorologists are key to fire management, and the Dragon Bravo Fire didn’t have one on scene until Monday, several days after the damage was done.

All wood-burning and charcoal fires, such as campfires and charcoal barbecues, are prohibited. In addition, visitors and residents can only use liquid petroleum appliances like stoves, lanterns or heating devices in an empty area or one that doesn’t have flammable materials within three feet.

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.

Jamie Coffin recalls being one of several people flown out of the Grand Canyon because of a chlorine gas leak.

The congressman is the latest lawmaker asking why the Dragon Bravo fire was not immediately extinguished when it was ignited by lightning on July 4.

Two wildfires continue to burn near the Grand Canyon; the White Sage Fire has burned nearly 53,000 acres and is 4% contained. The Dragon Bravo Fire has burned about 8,500 acres.
