Firefighters in Colorado are planning an evacuation zone along the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park's North Rim as part of their continuing efforts to bring the South Rim Fire under control.

Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs toured the destruction left by a wildfire along the Grand Canyon's North Rim, on Saturday, surveying what she described as devastating damage.

Last weekend, a fire sparked by lightning evolved into a seemingly routine burn, and then suddenly burst out of control as winds swept it across the North Rim.
