The North Rim's Dragon Bravo Fire has grown to more than 94,000 acres, while containment on the fire has dropped to 4%.
Fire managers say the blaze is moving northward as crews continue to face extreme conditions and record-breaking dry fuels in a mixed conifer and aspen forest.
Managers say they plan to strengthen Forest Road 213 as a new control line.
They also plan to backburn around the Kaibab Lodge gas station in order to better protect structures in the area.
