Massive Grand Canyon Wildfire Hammers Tourism

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports on the Dragon Bravo Fire, now the largest active wildfire in the U.S., burning over 123,000 acres in Grand Canyon National Park. Triggered by a lightning strike, the fire has destroyed key park infrastructure and forced the closure of the North Rim for the rest of the 2025 season, posing severe consequences for the local economy. McIntyre warns that such economic disruptions from wildfires may become a long-term trend.
