URGENT - Fires in California

[MariaRegina]

Please pray.

Due to the lush vegetation from abundant rains this year, we have a lot of brush. Several fires were started near our house and it is suspected arson.

In addition, you have probably heard that NBC's Universal Studios in Burbank has suffered extensive fire damage and that many movies in their extensive film library have been destroyed.

Please pray for those with asthma and for the firefighters who have been injured (five at last count). As I type, the smell of burnt rubber and other chemicals is simply awful.

In Christ,
Elizabeth

p.s. We have had three serious fires that have closed our university campus. This happens every other year -- 2003, 2005, and 2007.

This year we had another bad fire north of Sylmar that shut down the freeways.

Fires. I hate fires. Ever since I got caught in a big one a few years ago, I have hated them with a passion and the siren sound that is on gov't news radio (which my family listens to) makes my skin crawl.

Lord have mercy.

Prayers for those caught in and close to this tragedy.

I will pray as well! :crosseo:

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, Have Mercy On Me a Sinner. Amen!

These fires are early this year. We had rainfall, but not enough. Lord, have mercy. Praying they cease and not come back. :crosseo:

Last year Tahoe had a great fire that almost destroyed the town. The firefighters did a phenomenal job, and people had banners hung on their porches "Thank you, firefighters" and similar messages. A lot of homes burned then. They may have another similar fire season, and we should pray for the whole state about this. :crosseo: :liturgy: :priest:
