National Park Service officials say there was no way to predict the Dragon Bravo Fire would turn into an inferno, jump containment lines and rip through the Grand Canyon's North Rim, leaving a historic lodge and 100 other structures in smoking ruin.

Grand Canyon fire plan shows officials publicly downplayed safety threats as fuel and weather conditions reached the brink of "critical" fire risk.

Reporters from the Arizona Republic allege that officials downplayed threats from the Dragon Bravo Fire, which has been burning for over a month. According to their new reporting, records show that officials minimized public safety and wind concerns before a sudden wind shift caused the fire to grow rapidly.
