Fires in
Northern California are raging uncontained
Caused by
lightening and not PG&E to sue or blame
2nd
largest in state’s history with fire resources stretched to the max
Thousands of
structures threatened, thousands evacuating on roads no time to relax
Another warning
that when it comes to fire, Mother Nature has all the cards
And fighting
wildfires in this heat and winds is far from easy, really very hard
Thank God
for firefighters who in triple digit heat put themselves in harm’s way
Winds shift
and there is little chance they have to their death delay
Hopefully
the feds and surrounding states have responded to the all hands on deck call
No one in a
threatened town ever wants to see an approaching fire wall
A message to
those threatened--a home near a fire with a garden hose will be protected
Stay as
opposed to fleeing and death not life will be the choice you may have selected
