Wild Fires

You had some hellacious wild fires in Texas a few years ago.

Whenever I see or hear about these horrendous fires I always think about the animals. Most of them survive but they are forced out of their homes, running for their lives. There was a huge fire in Colorado recently (The Hayden Creek Fire) that was very near a town in which I used to live. Some of my old friends from there told me that the town has had numerous mountain lion sighting in and just around the town since the fire. This is very rare and never happened while I was there. I'm sure the lions came from the Hayden Creek area which was known to have an active mountain lion population. Those poor lions are just looking for a new home and sadly some of them will venture into urban areas with tragic results.

I am so sorry to hear news of about wildfires claiming lives and properties. I could only but pray for their safety.

Thank God for our firefighters, that there are people brave enough to do it. We get scared here every summer and have had to evacuate a few times in the past.

i sure feel fer 'em. i'd not wish to be a fire fighter neither, my dad 'twas such 'n 't times'd be gone fer weeks'n end helpin' to battle those monsters. we always feared fer his safety - no cell phones 'n easy access to let folks know ya were alright back then. we'd some serious fires 'cross our state not long 'go. rarely makes the news when such occurs here. the critters get hit the worst, the folks get tended to 'n they're left homeless'n without food/water sources. i hope that all stay safe's well. phew, that 'twas some floodin' down 'cross the south, eh?? yepperz, shame ya can't jest pump that schtuff 'p to where 't's so direly needed.

If only that rain could show up where and when it is needed.

The stories on the news are frightening. I hope that they get a handle of them soon.

we had so many tragic this year.The wild fire was set up by an arsonist.They should charge him for murder

It would be awesome if we could share the rain.

It's so dry in California. One fire burning there is near my old house and they are evacuating. I pray for rain and the fires to be contained.

Australia has its problems with bushfires. Our last big one - in West Aust - wiped out a small town and the problems in rebuilding are ongoing.

Wildfire in California in the summertime is just as much expected as flowers in the spring. At least this year we have not had a big fire near us, yet.
