BBC: A rapidly growing wildfire north-west of the Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona has expanded more than 10 times in size in less than 24 hours, according to a government tracker.

The White Sage Fire, sparked by lightning on 9 July, has scorched roughly 19,100 acres near Jacob Lake, forcing officials to close the park's North Rim and area residents to evacuate.
