The Dragon Bravo Fire is now the eighth-largest wildfire affecting a national park since 2021, growing rapidly and completely uncontained.
Wildfires burning at or near the Grand Canyon's North Rim are still raging as strong winds, high heat and low humidity persist.
Stage 2 fire restrictions are in place at the Grand Canyon National Park due to high fire danger. On July 17, 2025, stage 2 fire restrictions came in effect for the South Rim and all areas of the park.
