Fires

[Jan Thompson]

Kevin Burne from Yellow Rock has lost 2 vehicles in the fire which started at Springwood. It took 18 minutes after some power lines came down at Springwood to go through his street. Only 4 houses have been left standing. Kevin's neighbour called him and Kevin and Glen managed to save his house. One part was affected but they managed to contain it. Many of you would know Kevin's GMC which went on Back To The Track and has been at Corowa a few times. He also lost a Chev Truck. His two jeeps were singed and at the moment he doesn't know whether two of his other vehicles in a shed have been damaged as he cant do too much until the insurance assessors have been to visit.

Kevin went through the 2001 fires which also threatened his Yellow Rock property and in 2007 fires in the Mudgee area went through a property he owns.
