More than a week after lightning ignited wildfires, thousands of acres of Colorado’s Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park are still ablaze, and massive portions of the canyon’s South Rim have been destroyed.

A combination of high winds, dry air and above average temperatures caused a wildfire in the Grand Canyon to rapidly expand and cause major damage.

A wildfire that tore through a historic Grand Canyon Lodge​ had been allowed to burn for days before erupting over the weekend, raising questions about federal officials' decision not to aggressively attack it right away.

A new wildfire was reported today at 6:34 p.m. in Los Angeles County, California. Canyon Fire has been burning on federal land managed by the United States Forest Service. There is currently no information on the containment of the fire and its cause remains undetermined.

The South Rim Fire is still burning at the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, now eight days since it was first ignited by lightning strikes.

The fire on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon started from a lightning strike but was managed as a controlled burn until it spread.

A wildfire that destroyed a historic Grand Canyon lodge is continuing to spread out of control after it had been allowed to burn for days.
