At least 235 properties have either been destroyed, damaged or were threatened by the fire, according to preliminary numbers.

The Dragon Bravo Fire has burned thousands of acres along the North Rim of the Grand Canyon and destroyed dozens of structures, including the historic Grand Canyon Lodge. FOX 10's Taylor Wirtz spoke to a woman whose family watched the lodge burn.
