Authorities increased the size of the evacuation zone for the White Sage Fire north of the Grand Canyon on Friday morning.

Evacuations have been ordered for the area north of Jacob Lake, in northern Arizona, due to the White Sage Fire.

Parts of the Jacob Lake area are under GO evacuation orders, and the North Rim of the Grand Canyon is also evacuating. The fire has grown to 19,573 acres.

A wildfire that has scorched more than 10,000 acres has forced visitors, employees and residents of the Grand Canyon North Rim to evacuate.
