How does a forest fire effect nearby home values?

Asked by filmfann (52246points) August 20th, 2012

There is a forest fire in the area near my second home. My brother also owns a house in the evacuation area. Our homes are probably not going to be touched by the flames.
When the fire is out, will our home values change?
I can understand them going up (home availability), or down (apparent home vulnerability). Which is the norm?
