More than a month and half after the Dragon Bravo Fire started in northern Arizona, the blaze appears to be under control.
Jordan Nesbitt is a public information officer with the Great Basin Team Seven, which is supporting fire efforts. She says the fire has burned 145,500 acres and is 62% contained.
“Fire activity is really minimal throughout the whole fire area. We haven't seen any real measurable growth and movement over the last several days. It's also not putting up a lot of smoke. So the smoke impacts to the communities around us are very minimal," said Nesbitt.
From a weather perspective on Thursday, there could be some gusty winds and dry lightning.
Nesbitt says they have teams on standby ready to respond to any fire activity.
The fire was started by lightning on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon in Grand Canyon National Park.
