Newcomb's is gone in Station fire

Sad news. How long has Newcomb's been there... anyone know?
I hate the thought of people loosing their homes or business', and even more so for those who have to step into that hell, but on the upside, there will be great sight lines once everything is fixed, and perhaps new paving... whenever that may happen. Trying to find an upside here.

Wow, that is really hard to hear... I knew it's been there quite some time.It's been there at least since 1932. Here's a pic from that winter...
Can't get the pic to upload; sorry.

Well, it's burned before and they rebuilt. The place has a concrete foundation and most if not all the exterior walls are stone/concrete, so there is some hope. We'll have to wait and see when this mess gets put to bed and folks can get back in the area.
I'm glad I made several runs along ACH recently and had a chance to introduce some folks to the Highway and Newcomb's.
I'll be back, and I'm sure they will as well.

I shoulda done this first: from http://www.newcombsranch.com/home_iframe.htm
"Newcomb's Ranch Inn" was built in 1939; so that picture must be part of Lynn Newcomb's ranch, maybe 1/4 mile away from "Newcomb's Ranch". The last fire that burned it was in 1976. Sorry for the confusion.
And this from Darren (our Sunday morning host at the bar) on Facebook at roughly 5pm yesterday: "time for some positive thoughts people... ranch is still standing as of last report, but it is still under SERIOUS threat from a flare-up near the (burned) visitors center... tonight is gonna be "crunch-time"...."

The info came from a phone call from one of my riding buddies to a Newcomb's employee. I regret not having checked things out more before the initial post. That info seriously bummed me out too, and I sincerely hope it can dodge the bullet.

"Newcomb's survives!!"
Great news this morning via the Fullerton office of Angeles Crest Christian Camp.
Newcomb's Ranch is still standing and serving food and drinks to firefighters. Firefighters are currently setting backfires in the Devil's Canyon area to provide further protection.
Further, more than 300 firefighters are based at Christian Camp and working to protect the camps and creating firebreaks to stop the progression of the fire which is burning in the southern area of Chilao. Camp Eaton, Valcrest and the Horse Flats areas are safe.
The southeastern flank of the fire is burning in the San Gabriel Wilderness Area. This area has not burn since the 1920's. Look for the fire to chew through this brush and make its way east to Hwy. 39 near Crystal Lake and south towards foothills communities such as Sierra Madre Monrovia and Duarte.
Simply, these decades of fuel loading needed some sort of release and the Station Fire is now doing the cleansing which was long overdue.
** Just talk to a LAFD Paramedic (Station 81) who is providing on site first-aid at Christian Camp, who verify the above information
