Officials on the Kaibab National Forest say they’ve now fully contained a lightning-caused wildfire that’s been burning for the last month near the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.
Crews have been working to contain the 3,200-acre low-intensity Murray 2 Fire since it was discovered Sept. 11.
Officials say the fire burned within the 2006 Warm Fire area and consumed mostly dead forest floor material and other potential fuels and proved to be a benefit to forest health.
Smoke may continue to be visible along State Route 67 and in the Arizona National Scenic Trail corridor as stumps and other natural materials continue to smolder.
