Fires

[Uabassoon]

I'm not sure if anyone has seen the news, but Mt. Lemmon which is in the Tucson area is having a horrible fire. It's really sad, I like to look out my windows and see the mountains. But now I look out the window and see lots of smoke. I love going to Mt. Lemmon, especially during the summer since it's 30 degrees cooler up there. Missy and I go for hikes and I like to rock climb there. Please pray that we can get some rain or the wind dies down to keep the fire from spreading.

Fires are my biggest fear, so I hope for the people AND the animals that you get rain and no wind.

We just saw the fire on World News. I hope the firefighters keep safe and get the conditions they need to control the fire and keep the animal casualties to a minimum.

I wish we could ship some of our endless rain out west. It has rained 25 out of the last 32 days here, and we've had close to 10 inches in June. Anyone know of a Web site that sells gopher wood?;) :p

It is horrible! I Just saw it on the news. :( Firefighters are called in from everywhere around the area, I hope they'll be able to stop it spreading!

Poor people who have lost their homes. So sad! :(

Here's a report from CNN:

I had heard there were fires in AZ, but didn't realize it was at Mt. Lemmon. My cousin and I went down there for a weekend when I was living in Chandler, and she was so excited cause it was the first time her car had seen snow! I hope they will be able to get the fires under control soon!
