A wildfire in the Grand Canyon’s North Rim destroyed the Grand Canyon Lodge and other structures, forcing the area to close for the season. The blaze was sparked by lightning on July 4 and spread rapidly due to hot, dry, windy conditions. About 50–80 buildings, including the visitor center and employee housing, were lost. No injuries were reported, but visitors and staff were evacuated. The Associated Press reported the incident.
