GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK, Ariz. — A wildfire that tore through a historic Grand Canyon lodge and raged out of control Monday had been allowed to burn for days before erupting over the weekend, raising scrutiny over the National Park Service’s decision not to aggressively attack the fire right away.

The Grand Canyon Lodge was one of dozens of structures destroyed in a fast-moving wildfire in Arizona over the weekend, the National Park Service confirmed.

The Dragon Bravo wildfire, one of two fires north of the canyon, burned down the historic Grand Canyon Lodge and nearby cabins July 13. The lodge was the only hotel inside the park's North Rim. The Dragon Bravo fire, which was triggered by lightning July 4, has consumed an estimated 5,000 acres.
