Prayers for sure, Curt.
Three fire fighters have already died, two more burned critically.
Hope they find a way to get those 400 people out.
Amen.

As of 10:19 EST: over 24,000 acres burned, 10 homes destroyed,500 homes threatened....ZERO % containment...which means this is a long way from being over, not to mention 50mph Santa Anas' swirling

Such a horrible and frightening situation. Once again, the firefighters of our country are truly standing strong and being as heroic as can be. I'll be sure to keep them all in my prayers and light a candle at mass on Sunday.

absolutely horrifying that all of this destruction is the result of an arsonist...I'm not much on prayer but I certainly feel for these people and hope for their safety.

The reward for the apprehension of this slime is now 600 G's! Where's the DOG when ya need him! Hopefully that reward....is dead or alive. If anyone remembers the series of fires in Cali that were set in grocery and hardware stores in 80's. Perpetrated by a fireman(inspector) I think it was made into a movie. The little boy who's Mom was lost in the Hardware store fire was a social friend of mine. He turned out OK, but it was rough.
