This wildfire, driven by strong winds, has resulted in significant destruction, including the loss of two commercial buildings, 14 homes, and 22 outbuildings.

Additionally, a Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) team from the Forest Service has initiated a post-fire assessment to evaluate the impact on National Forest System lands.
