Largest wildfire in the US spreads to more than 126,000 acres in Grand Canyon National Park
The devastating wildfire raging in Arizona's Grand Canyon National Park has spread to more than 126,000 acres, making it the largest active blaze in the country. The Dragon Bravo fire has been burning for a month following a lightning strike on the canyon's North Rim on July 4. Record-low humidity has hampered efforts to contain the fire, which has spread to 126,445 acres and is only 13 percent contained as of Tuesday, according to InciWeb, the government's website that tracks wildfires. Towns near the blaze are hosting emergency community meetings this week as the fire threatens to endanger life, impact business supply chains and affect the tourism economy. Millions of visitors flock to the natural wonder of the world every year. The mayor of the town of Fredonia declared a local emergency Monday. Mayor Don Johnson called for a 'drastic and meaningful change in land use and forest management policy' to prevent future catastrophic fires in the Kaibab National Forest. The fire also destroyed the historic lodge at Grand Canyon National Park as extreme heat and strong winds continue to fuel the blaze. 'Humidity will begin to rise, but fire weather remains near critical,' the daily government update on the fire warned Tuesday. Smoke has been affecting the air quality in the nearby towns for the last two weeks and gusts of up to 30mph are forecast this week. The town of Page is due to hold an emergency meeting on the issue Wednesday. 'We have had this persistent southwest wind that has carried smoke into the Page area, so they have been flirting with unhealthy smoke impacts,' Robert Rickey, a Weather Service wildfire incident meteorologist, told The New York Times. Winds could ease over the weekend, but there is only a 10 percent chance of rain, which is not expected to be significant. 'This fire behavior we're seeing is unprecedented,' Lisa Jennings, a spokeswoman for the Southwest Area Incident Management Team, told the Times Saturday. 'We have had consistently gusty winds with this dry spell for the past eight days. There's lots of fuel to burn through.' Elsewhere, wildfire smoke continues to choke millions of residents across the Upper Great Lakes region, as massive blazes burned in Canada and throughout the western U.S.

Rental units in unincorporated L.A. County must stay cool under new law
Los Angeles County will soon require landlords in unincorporated parts of the county to keep their rental units 82 degrees or below to protect vulnerable tenants from the impacts of climate change. Supervisors said Tuesday that the law, which passed 4-0, was necessary to combat heat-related deaths, which have increased across the nation. Supervisor Kathryn Barger was not present for the vote. 'As we continue to face warmer summers, the ordinance is meant to provide relief to our unincorporated residents and to protect them from the dangers of extreme heat in their homes,' said Supervisor Hilda Solis, who pushed for staff to start drafting the law last year. The law is set to take effect next month, but it will not be enforced until Jan. 2027, though landlords can ask for an extension. Both old and newly constructed rental units will need to comply. Read more: Triple-digit temperatures on deck as heat wave descends on SoCal, elevating fire, health concerns Landlords with fewer properties will have additional time. Supervisor Janice Hahn introduced an amendment so that landlords who own 10 units or less will be able to keep just one room at 82 degrees or lower until 2032. Officials said deadly heat waves, which have become more frequent and intense across the state, presented a clear public health emergency for the county. 'Communities across Los Angeles County in my district, especially in the San Fernando Valley, are experiencing previously unimaginable temperatures,' said Supervisor Lindsey Horvath. 'Woodland Hills alone has recorded 121 degrees. This is unthinkable.' In Phoenix, landlords are required to keep units with air conditioning at 82 degrees or below. In Clark County, Nev., units can't go above 85 degrees. In Palm Springs, units need to have air conditioning and can't go above 80 degrees. Officials said the new law will be enforced through complaints, so tenants can call the county if they believe the temperature in their unit is too high. An inspector with the county's Department of Public Health would then be dispatched to inspect the unit. Barbara Ferrer, the head of the department, said the goal was to get the homes as cool as possible without issuing a fine. 'The way forward, frankly, isn't going to be to rely on that authority to issue citations,' she said. 'It's going to be to educate folks.' Read more: Dealing with extreme heat is a full-time job for parents of young kids — and their schools County officials said they were encouraging landlords to cool down units through 'passive," environmentally-friendly methods other than air conditioners. That could include blackout curtains, reflective roofing and triple-paned windows Fred Sutton, with the California Apartment Assn., said he was concerned that, by requiring every room to be at a certain temperature, landlords could be penalized if just one room got too hot. 'You could have your bedrooms, living room, and dining room actively cooled, but the kitchen is not actively cooled and gets to 83 degrees,' he said. 'You are creating really tough scenarios in a building that's totally adequately cooled.' Sign up for Essential California for news, features and recommendations from the L.A.
