Fate of UT research station in wake of wildfires?

Friends, we had a Bugguide "gathering" at a University of Tennessee (Knoxville) research station in Gatlinburg back in 2008. I am seriously concerned about its condition in the wake of the wildfires happening there now. I welcome updates on this, though I just e-mailed the facility managers, too. We may want to be ready to launch some kind of campaign if it turns into the worst-case scenario of needing to be rebuilt. Thank you.

Thanks for looking into this
for us, Eric, and keep us posted.

Yay!
I just got an e-mail reply from Jana Polson who says the station is still standing. "There are a few trees down" she says. I've asked her to let us know if there are any ways we can help the park and/or the town.
