Overview

• The Dragon Bravo Fire has expanded to more than 123,000 acres on the Grand Canyon’s North Rim with containment rising to 13 percent.
• Over 1,200 firefighters are assigned to the blaze as crews shore up northern perimeters and push new lines to the southwest.
• Teams are using less flammable pinyon-juniper woodlands to slow the fire’s spread and protect key structures like Kaibab Lodge.
• A red flag warning predicts gusts up to 30 mph and no precipitation is expected until midweek, heightening wildfire risks.
• Community briefings are scheduled for August 5 in Fredonia and August 6 in Page to keep residents informed of firefighting strategies.
