A backpack belonging to a man who went missing in Idaho in 2014 has been found by firefighters battling a wildfire in the Grand Canyon in Arizona.

The fire crew found the bag of David Alford as they were trying to contain the Dragon Fire ravaging the canyon’s North Rim.

The fire covered more than 1,300 acres last month and resulted in the shutting down of parts of the canyon, according to Newsweek.
