Firefighters are working to control two fires in the park, one on each end, that are burning up dry fuel amid gusty winds and temperatures in the 90s

Two separate wildfires burned on both rims of the Black Canyon at Gunnison National Park on Thursday. Visitors and staff were evacuated, while the park closed to any incoming guests until further notice.

Multiple aircraft are fighting the fire and a federal incident management team is set to take command of the fire first thing Friday, emergency officials said.
