People have been ordered to leave areas near the world famous Grand Canyon in Arizona due to rapidly spreading wildfires which were sparked by lightning.
The Grand Canyon's North Rim in Arizona also closed Thursday because of a wildfire on adjacent Bureau of Land Management land near Jacob Lake. The Coconino County Sheriff's Office said it helped evacuate people from an area north of Jacob Lake and campers in the Kaibab National Forest nearby.
