North Rim Closed due to Fire

Over 800 people are stranded at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon when they got in to visit the park during a window when Highway 67 was open. This morning people are getting out via the dirt Kaibab Forest Roads so all should be well with those folks. The fire however is only 3% contained and has cost so far 3 million dollars.
