Thought I would pass these along to interested parties with the sobering =
question could this happen in Arizona?  Under the drought conditions we =
are experiencing and without awareness of the problems created the =
answer is, yes it could!  I may be mistaken, but I have yet to read or =
hear anything about this somber event in Arizona media so I have taken =
it upon myself to send this to the Tucson, Flagstaff and Phoenix =
newspapers.  In my opinion, we do need to make the general public aware =
of the fire dangers to our many observatories here in Arizona and the =
need for caution. =20

Hi All - =20

Attached is a set of photos of the fire storm last Saturday, (18 =
January) at Mt. Stromlo.taken by Matthew Colless.  As you can imagine, =
here at Steward Observatory we view these tragic events in a sober =
manner for we have come close to such disaster with the forest fires =
last summer. =20
