Fire fighting
Article Abstract:
The National Trust's Uppark property, a 300-year-old house on the South Downs, was very badly damaged by fire in Aug 1989. Some of the contents were saved, but the interior needed extensive restoration. The National Trust decided to restore the house to the state it was in just before the fire, and this work has recently been completed. The restored house is now likely to attract many visitors.
