Gov. Katie Hobbs questioned why the U.S. government decided to manage the Dragon Bravo fire, which started with a lightning strike, as a “controlled burn” during the height of the summer.

In her response to the wildfire, Gov. Hobbs called for a federal investigation into the handling of the blaze. Hobbs wants “a report detailing the decisions that led to this devastating outcome.” Arizona Senator Ruben Gallego agreed.

Arizona's governor has demanded an investigation into why a wildfire that destroyed a historic lodge and dozens of other structures on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon was allowed to burn for a week before federal firefighters tried to put it out.
