The fires have been close in Gippsland too.

This is the result in a local shed. Not military vehicles but 3 restored Rileys and a Vauxhall and of course all of his garage gear. It was so hot that window glass melted and ran down the doors. The alloy engine parts melted leaving the steel bits exposed.

Heart breaking for that family too. Fortunately no one was hurt.

Regards Rick
