Today after church I got to go with Les, Sheriff Tom Bosenko, & Larry Lees to Shingletown to be briefed on the Ponderosa Fire.
It was impressive. The order & organization was amazing to see. Everyone was taking their jobs very seriously & doing all in their power to get the fire to cooperate. Unfortunately it is a battle that will take some time to win. Many people have been displaced from their homes & are very anxious about what their homecoming will bring. We have a very caring community. I could see when visiting the evacuation center that there wasn't much for the kids to do... So I text my BFF Kim Faires about the situation & she posted it on facebook. Then she &another friend Jacque Starman hit the stores ,purchased &delivered some fun stuff for the kids!!! Thank you so much! Meanwhile we had a tour of some of the fire areas. It is difficult to even imagine having to evacuate but seeing some very nice homes thAt were in the direct path of the fire was very sobering. Basically the only thing that will end this battle with the fire is time
We need to pray for safety for the crews that are up there on the fire line. They are working very hard to save every home. there is a good chance it could jump Hwy 44 tonight. We saw a group of deer huddled near a house. Cattle out in large meadow like pastures. So much that could be lost. It is a very hard time for many. It is time for us to pray about it all.
