Cedar Ridge
A small mountain town nestled near the caldera of a Mt. Saint Helens. An unexplained forest fire broke out near the town in 2038. A few days later the entire town was engulfed in a volcanic eruption as the mountain exploded under it destroying it utterly in a matter of hours. Over 100 people were killed in the eruption. Only the preceding evacuation order due to the forest fire prevented the death toll from climbing into the thousands.
Presently the area is still subject to continued volcanic activity and is quarantined from the public. There is a large scale government scientific research camp in the vicinity of the town which is the locus of a slew of conspiracy theories on the internet. The official purpose of which is to investigate the unexplained eruption of the mountain.
