Firefighters in Colorado are planning an evacuation zone along the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park's North Rim as part of their continuing efforts to bring the South Rim Fire under control.

As of July 17, it enters the stage prohibiting campfires, charcoal grills and outdoor smoking throughout the park’s campgrounds and residential areas.

Initial assessments show that the visitor center and entrance booth survived the fire, but other buildings were destroyed or heavily damaged
