A fast-moving wildfire has destroyed a historic lodge and dozens of other structures in Arizona’s Grand Canyon National Park.
The Dragon Bravo Fire is along the canyon’s more isolated North Rim, where most visitors don’t venture. No injuries have been reported.
The fire began with a lightning strike on July 4. According to the Associated Press, authorities first used a “confine and contain” strategy but shifted to aggressive suppression when the fire started to grow rapidly because of high temperatures, low humidity and strong wind gusts.
Here are some of the stories that made headlines over the past week, as well as some photos that caught our eye.
