wow what a bummer. If I lived closer I would help with the electrical. Guess after 50 years working in industrial I could use some of my experience to help the town. I would not climb pole or hi tension tower like old days . Give Noah my regards. SVJ DAV
A fair bit of discussion was had over at Panamintvalley.com. Appears to have been started by an electrical issue. The hotel, the icehouse, and the Crappo house burned; no other structures were damaged.
