32 cabins either burnt toast or damaged. Bad news.

One thing I've learned handling insurance claims up there: the steep terrain seriously hampers the firefighters. When you're hauling 1500gal of water, you've got a load running up steep roads. Plus, little pressure on the hydrants (when available) adds to folks rapping on the firefighters. They'll take heat.
