GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK, Ariz. -- A final damage assessment of the wrath the Dragon Bravo Fire unleashed inside the North Rim of the Grand Canyon is complete, and its numbers are grim: Nearly half the infrastructure in the North Rim was damaged or destroyed.

Among the 106 structures scorched or destroyed by flames were the Grand Canyon Lodge, the visitor's center, and a wastewater treatment plant, according to the Department of Interior's Burned Area Emergency Response Team.
