Our state was plagued with brush fires all day yesterday and well into the night. The firefighters were kept very busy rushing from one place to the next. Some fires were caused by ignorant people (such as dumping hot coals unto a dry lawn or burning leaves while the wind was blowing at speeds up to 60 mph) and others were caused by downed power lines. Whatever the cause, there was quite a bit of damage. Several families lost their homes, but as of now, no one was reported to be killed or seriously injured. Things could have been much, much worse. Please pray for the families that lost their homes in the fires.
