Two major wildfires are raging in the western U.S., with the Dragon Bravo Fire on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon being 9% contained and causing the destruction of the Grand Canyon Lodge, while another fire in Monroe, Utah, is 11% contained. Both fires are generating dangerous pyrocumulus clouds that create erratic weather, complicating firefighting efforts and leading to evacuations in affected areas.
