Hope they are adequately insured.

Which insurance would it come out of? Car owner or storage site owner?

It was a largely cooperative arrangement, and included a requirement that each vehicle was insured. My insurer would be whom I may call upon if damage has increased beyond the initial discovery. I can’t/won’t comment on other cars there beyond making the point it was private storage by a number of parties - not a museum. Anything others vested there was none of my business and vice-versa.

At this point I hold nobody responsible in my mind and accept it as simply bad luck/act of G_d. Disappointment is compounded by frustration at inability to help anyone in a meaningful way due to current injuries.

The story I read was the fire was started when someone was trying to start a Falcon GT, so there must have been one Aussie muscle car.

My brother has one of these storage facilities. Every car owner has to have their own insurance if they want it insured.
