Didn’t know there was even a building there.

National Park Service said all staff were evacuated safely, no injuries

CORRECTION: Officials said the fire is at park headquarters, not visitors center.

Generally with smoke that black it is not just ‘wood’. high molecular weight hydrocarbons (oil/plastics/carbon-based chemicals) have a characteristically black smoke.

Be interesting to read what caught fire.

If it's a major fire, I'd say "security stinks" and :fire protection" stinks. I would think it's a Masonry building.

Wonder if all the computers exploded??

Here’s a different pic from a Drudge link. The smoke is clearly much whiter, indicating either they are putting water on the fire and/or it is now a simple Class A structure fire (mostly lumber).

I doubt this is anything other than someone did something stupid.

Maybe someone took offense at the mosque-yness of the place. I know I am offended by it.

There’s still a lot of construction going on there. Probably some construction equipment or materials that caught fire.

What can burn? It's concrete and pavement.

Yep, the firefighting term is “fully involved”.
