Re: California fires


 

Howie Idelson and Townsend Bell both lost houses in the Palisades. The Nethercutt Collection is within the Hurst fire zone and hope they're able to move or protect their iconic artifacts. A news crew discovered a sizable collection of American Classics burned out in the Eaton Fire in Altadena.

Not automotive, but despite being in the heart of the danger zone, the storied Getty Villa museum has withstood the Los Angeles wildfires, preserving its 44,000-plus items thanks to strategy and architecture designed for today's threats, including fireproofing, brush clearances, sealing provisions for smoke, and external private fire fighting and sprinkling.?

A lot of danger is from organized criminals and looters, relying on blackouts and lack of distracted police in "safe" areas. Some seem to be setting more fires to aid in their efforts.

Do we know whether any of our RH colleagues? have been personally affected by the wildfires?? Do we know whether any places of racing significance have been affected??
I'm thinking about buildings like the Meyer Drake facility, Harry Miller's shop, Watson's shop, the home where Edgar Elder build his roadsters.? In asking this, I am of course showing my ignorance, because these buildings may be a long way from the fires or may been gone for many years.?
What about museums or collections?? Hopefully, the answer to all of these questions -- especially the first -- is no.
