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.

Authorities maintained the evacuation zones for the White Sage Fire north of the Grand Canyon as the fire grew expectantly.

Parts of the Jacob Lake area are under GO evacuation orders, and the North Rim of the Grand Canyon is also evacuating. The fire has grown to nearly 50,000 acres.
