2025年,大峡谷北环的20万英亩土地被闪电引发的火力烧毁,摧毁了历史小屋和100以上建筑。 A lightning-caused fire burned over 200,000 acres at the Grand Canyon’s North Rim in 2025, destroying the historic lodge and 100+ structures.

2025年8月底,大峡谷北环的一场闪电野火(称为“龙大火 ” ) 仍活跃在2025年8月底,烧毁了20万多英亩土地,摧毁了具有历史意义的大峡谷旅馆、雇员住宅和100多个公园建筑。 A lightning-ignited wildfire on the Grand Canyon’s North Rim, known as the Dragon Bravo Fire, remains active as of late August 2025, having burned over 200,000 acres and destroyed the historic Grand Canyon Lodge, employee housing, and more than 100 park structures. 火灾最初是在“封闭和遏制”战略下管理的,后来由于干燥、风灾条件而迅速扩大,迫使Jacob湖的疏散,扰乱了依赖旅游业的企业,包括古老的Jacob Lake Inn公司,该公司取消了350 000美元的预订。 Initially managed under a “confine and contain” strategy, the fire rapidly expanded due to dry, windy conditions, forcing evacuations in Jacob Lake and disrupting tourism-dependent businesses, including the century-old Jacob Lake Inn, which canceled $350,000 in reservations. 联邦评估表明,几乎75%的被焚地区遭受了低强度火灾或没有燃烧,这表明有可能迅速恢复生态,并可能带来长期的森林健康惠益。 Federal assessments indicate nearly 75% of the burned area experienced low-severity fire or no burn, suggesting potential for quick ecological recovery and possible long-term forest health benefits. 尽管如此,亚利桑那州领导人和官员仍呼吁对火灾管理决定进行调查,理由是缺乏透明度和详细回应,而社区则要求澄清北环部分地区何时可以安全重新开放。 Despite this, Arizona leaders and officials have called for investigations into fire management decisions, citing a lack of transparency and detailed responses, while communities seek clarity on when parts of the North Rim might safely reopen.
