We are praying for all! We are praying for rain and the safety for all. Albuquerque is sending help! Many homes are burning down, not enough Firefighters and trucks. There are so many wildfires in the western states, I have lost count. We have a constant smoky haze in Albuquerque because of the fires.
On Tuesday 4 personnel on a Type-3 Engine from AFR’s Wildland Division were sent to California to assist with wildfires. This morning 3 more personnel on a Type-6 Engine as well as a Task Force Leader from AFR Wildland Division were sent as part of multi-agency Task Force from New Mexico. Crews are expected to be deployed for up to 21 days. Stay safe and thank you for your commitment to helping our fellow firefighters in California.
“My God, we’ve got nobody”: Strained firefighters struggle to stop California wildfires
As uncontrolled fires descend ever closer to populated areas, shorthanded firefighters warn they don’t have the manpower they need to keep the flames at bay, in some cases leaving neighbors to try to protect communities themselves.

Our Dear Sister in Christ Kay Lawrence, who lives in Colorado, leads us in prayer.:
Oh Lord God, we appeal to your mercy. It is as high as the sky and as wide as the whole earth! You created each of us and you know our needs. You know how desperate the drought is here in the Southwest – our ranchers and farmers are running out of irrigation water. Wildfires are raging out of control with no rain in sight to put them out. God-over-all, have mercy on us and send drenching rains again and again to reverse the drought in the Southwest. Please Father express to us your compassion – not because we deserve it but because you are a merciful compassionate God. Save us Lord, for we have no one else we can turn to! Science cannot save us, government cannot save us, humanism cannot save us, only YOU have the power and authority to send rain. We are bold to implore you for the great gift of rain because we have experienced your kindness and generosity in the past. We humbly ask for You to send rain Lord, and for Your kindness we promise to praise and thank you publicly to our friends and neighbors and in the community, to let everyone know how great and GOOD you are! We wait expectantly Lord, for we trust you with our whole heart.
