One of the notable success stories during this wildfire is the effort given by firefighters to protect the historic structures at Interlaken where no structures were lost. During the initial attack or onset of the fire, a small group of first responders set up structure protection at Interlaken. This effot was duplicated when fire activity increased a couple days later, once again threatening the historic site.
With defensible space measures in place at Interlaken, firefighters could safely and effectively protect the structures. The USDA Forest Service ensured proper measures were already in place. Watch the video to see an ariel view and ground view of the work done to ensure these local, historic treasures remain.
