FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) — A wildfire raging along the Grand Canyon’s North Rim that leveled a historic lodge erupted over the weekend after burning for more than a week, raising scrutiny over the National Park Service’s decision not to aggressively attack the fire right away.

Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs called for a federal investigation into the Park Service’s handling of the fire, which was sparked by lightning July 4.

“Arizonans deserve answers for how this fire was allowed to decimate the Grand Canyon National Park,” the governor said in a social media post Sunday. “The federal government chose to manage that fire as a controlled burn during the driest, hottest part of the Arizona summer.”

    It’s almost like, and I could be way off base here, the Trump administration does not actually know handle major crises like forest fires, even though Trump said he could have handled it better than anyone.

    Good. Fuck the whites for building a lodge in a natural wonder like that in the first place.

    Second, fuck the whites again for failing to actually care for the land they’ve conquered. I wish every colonizer and their spawn a very humid get fucked in the face.
