The Dragon Bravo Fire near the Grand Canyon's North Rim lost containment, dropping to 13% due to dry, windy weather. The fire grew to 45,000 acres and advanced four miles north, threatening structures near the park's north entrance.

Historically dry conditions have combined with gusty winds to make it harder for crews to get a handle on a wildfire burning along the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, causing containment figures to plummet as the blaze nearly tripled in size in just a few days.
