The caption on this one said some buildings in Ripplebrook were "damaged or lost" but the old Ranger station (now the store) looks like it survived OK. The trees around don't look too bad either.

Looks like a pile of debris to the left of the ranger station.  I wonder if that's the outhouse.

That outhouse was concrete - I wouldn't think it could burn.

If you go to inciweb and click on the full size photo you can see some more detail - I'm thinking there might have been some sort of carport like thing back behind the ranger station - and that burned - but I'm not sure:

Look at the photo here http://www.ruckerworks.com/2017/02/too-much-snow/   It shows that there was a large building next to the store which doesn't appear on the inciweb photo.  Also on Google Earth:

Looks like that pile of debris is the remains of that building.  It was a lot bigger than an outhouse!
