Austral University Fire: Darwin and Steven Hawkins

asc_photo_essay_valdivia3.jpg The fire at the Austral University is believed to have been caused by electrical problems. The local fire departments called in neighboring fire departments from Puerto Montt to aid in fighting the fire as they had more experience and training in dealing with hazardous materials. Universities experts assisted the fire departments in advising as to the location and nature of the chemicals in the building, and the entire University campus was shutdown for several days after the fire. No one was killed by the fire.

Losses from Austral University Fire

Among the losses where research going back hundreds of years including data from numerous studies related to Southern Chile's flora and fauna, marine life, and the campus science complex was also where campus servers and data switches where located. In the days around the fire all phone lines to the campus where cut. Also among the losses where a collection of artifacts from Charles Darwin's trip to South America that was being prepared for a permanent display in a new natural history museum. Students and teachers estimate that it will take more than 10 years to recover the research lost, among the research that can be replaced.
