The Fires Just Keep Burning


It seems like they get the New Mexico fire under control just in time to have the Colorado wildfire explode.  Now they have the Colorado fires under control just in time for fires to explode in Washington and California.

Wildfires raging across the western states of the US have destroyed dozens of homes and scorched thousands of acres of land, officials say.
The US Forest Service reported 62 large uncontained fires, mostly in the states of Idaho, Nevada, Utah and California.
A fire in the north-western US state of Washington has burned at least 60 houses and 24,000 acres (9,712 ha) since it started on Monday.
On Sunday, a 20-year-old firefighter was killed by a falling tree in Idaho.
Anne Veseth died near Orofino while combating a blaze. It was her second season as a firefighter.
A federal investigation was launched on Tuesday to establish what happened.
Plea to Mother Nature
The fire near the town of Cle Elum, in central Washington state, has prompted the evacuation of more than 400 people, although no injuries have been reported.
It came within six miles of the town of Ellenburg, said fire officials.
Crews barely managed to outrun the fast-moving fire, which began at a bridge construction site and has not been contained.
Officials say the current wind and heat are making it harder for firefighters to bring the blaze under control.
"Unless Mother Nature helps us out here, we're going to be fighting this a while," Kittitas County Fire and Rescue Captain Joe Seemiller said.

So Captain Joe is appealing to 'Mother nature'?  I wonder if he wouldn't be better off appealing to the Creator of the Universe, Jesus Christ?

Last night on the national news they reported that millions of acres have been burned so far and it was the most acres EVER consumed by fire in this country.

Also they are now starting to report on the cost of these fires to local communities.  The mayors and governors don't have the money to pay for all the fire damage...so they are appealing to the Federal Government.

And where will the Federal Government get the money to hand out for all this disaster relief?

Exactly....

This nation is burning and it makes one wonder if the judgment of God has already started.  How many babies can we abort, how many drugs can we snort and how much porn can we manufacture and distribute before God says, "Enough!"
