NMVA suffers loss due to major fire
Sadly this fire occurred yesterday and some of our members were affected. The Niagara Military Vehicle Association had a large collection of vehicles stored at a former chicken farm. The site was quite large and had about 40 businesses in the various buildings. The NMVA was able to get about 80% of their vehicles out before the fire conditions worsened and was no longer safe to get anymore. Sadly a lot lost everything.

Edited - I found a historic weather reporting website. On 9 Feb the winds started at zero, then increased from 5 to 10 to 15 kph throughout the day, and as conjectured were from Northwest to Southeast.

Waiting for someone in the collection to make a report.
If months had feelings, I think February has it right. It has the decency to be really short, so life can start again in March.

What an awful tragedy! Very sad to hear that some irreplaceable property was destroyed, though I understand there were no lives lost.
All my best wishes to all those affected.
