Would anyone be able to tell me if i give them an address if a house is lost in the Crest?
Or where the losses were isolated to
Far as I know the crest and alpine got hit hard and someone mentioned on here that they lost those two area. If you look at the map on inciweb you can get a idea of the burn as well as the sentinel satellite image that was posted on here.

Thank you. Thatâs what they were thinking but just wanted a little more confirmation
I saw a Facebook post that felt that Seq Crest was 50% loss and Alpine was significant loss. Unsubstantiated, I know. But, something to hold onto hope with for now.

Those areas would have been very hard to defend due to location and terrain.
Zero safety zones. One way in, and one way out. All mid slope roads.Limited water supply other than Poppy lake. Utility poles all along the roads. Unsafe for sure.

Just a post to provide the before and sense of what was. A shot near the Stagg Tree, Alder Creek, adjacent to Sequoias Crest, on the old Rousch property, which was recently donated to the Save the Redwoods Foundation just this year. https://www.savetheredwoods.org/project/alder-creek/
Note all the standing dead mostly White Fir. I will try to get an after shot as soon as I can get up there.

Talking about the fire crossing a creek and quicker meadow being the first to be impacted and talking about Rodgers camp too. I know there was a big thinning project up there along the reservation boundary down toward Rodgers camp.
Fire is pushing down the tule canyon which is not good a lot of that hasnât burned in at least 50 years.

The north side of the main fork of the tule river below Wishon has burned several times in recent times but the south has little fire history.

Thatâs not good if itâs burning back that way towards Quaker that means itâs burning back up.
Itâs the south side and everything above the powerhouse thatâs the problem

Rogers only had a prescribed burn on the southwest side in the grove, and south towards the reservation. It was used to stop the Pier. The Coy Creek drainageand around Mtn Aire had a lot burned out during the Pier but the 21S94 road was used as the line, and fire was held south and west of the road. Everything above the road to Slate, and all the way east to Nelson and Ponderosa have not had any fuels modified. If fire is not held at Cedar Slope and the Tule near the Wishbone Tree https://goo.gl/maps/2gVT9hPxA8NmGbQi7 things could get even worse.

I do remember while on the Pier incident, we tried pushing dozerâs from Rodgers camp to Pierpiont, but were not successful in the operation due to steep, extremely rocky ridges and drop offâs. We had bad issues with spot fires when they fired the the forest rd headed up to slate Mt. from Rodgers camp all the way down to coy flat campground and cabins the east side of that road is/was horribly over grown. The south side of the south fork of the Tule river drainage has not burned until the Pier fire. and is very rocky.
The entire area past pierpoint south and east and to the north is covered in âtree mortalityâ bad situation all the way around.
