Precious little withstood the inferno that incinerated most of the 1960s–era complex the morning of October 30, 1996. A passerby alerted firefighters to the blaze at 3:30 a.m., and three hours later the 12,000–square–foot ranger station was a smoking ruin. By then, groups of U.S. Forest Service employees—seventy–three worked at the station at the time—were huddled together in the dim morning chill, breathing in the charred scent of irredeemable loss.

Post reported.
