Bushfires in Australia

[Mike Cecil]

Hi Rick,

To use that very descriptive Australian word - Bugger!! Sad to see the losses mounting as this thread progresses - your museum's trailers, Robert's sheds and Tony's train carriage. There are more losses we are yet to hear about, too, I suspect.

As you have said, the very real up-side is no loss of life among the MLU community, for which I'm sure we are all grateful.

The fire situation in Australia should make us all sit up and think about our collections and how safe they are from a situation like that being experienced by our MLU friends in Australia. I for one will be doing some re-evaluation of the risk factors.

Best regards

Mike
