TeacherZee Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 We currently have a major forest fire raging in my area. I'm in no danger right now but it looks like they will begin evacuating the town north of my sister during the night. All it will take is a shift in the wind and my sister will need to evacuate as well. My BIL is a fire fighter and is on holiday right now but could be called back as this is classed as a disaster now. Please send your thoughts to those who have had to evacuate, who risk being evacuate and especially to those fighting the fire. Thank you!

Ripley Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Sending good thoughts to that corner of the world, to all affected indirectly or indirectly. The unpredictability of a fire terrifies me. I can't imagine what I'd feel if the disaster was so close to my heart. And here's hoping your area stays clear of any danger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umsami Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Will be praying for you, those who had to evacuate, those at risk of evacuation, and all the firefighters and first responders. We sometimes get forest fires here due to dryness. I know how scary it can be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
