The Dragon Bravo Fire exploded in size to 105,415 acres along the Grand Canyon’s North Rim on Thursday as heat and strong winds drove the growth.

Both it and the Monroe Fire, burning further north near Monroe, Utah, are generating pyrocumulus clouds — sometimes called "fire clouds" — that form when air over a fire becomes superheated and rises in large, smoky columns. The massive clouds are visible for hundreds of miles and resemble the shape of an anvil.

A video shared by a local fire emergency team shows thick plumes of orange-hued smoke rise into the sky creating a fire cloud.
