Fires too close for comfort - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Baby Blessing · 08-30-2009, 08:24 PM

Our prayers go out to many that are in the path of this fire. It is really frightening, we are in the mountains above the Station Fire that is out of control, they did a mandatory evacuation of that community that is below us. Praying things get better, have prepared ourselves here the best we can. It may become neccessary for us to evacuate too.

The fire is getting real close to Mount Wilson Towers, they are saying it would be a disaster to communications, the towers are there for the local tv stations out of Los Angles and they are in danger. Please pray this doesn't happen.
I am praying the electric don't go off cause that would cause us not to have any water in our community.

Our computer is coming off of a satelite on top of one of the mountains near the fire, if it is affected we won't be able to get back on line.

One can never be prepared for a fire no matter how hard one trys.

The smoke is so bad, our fire fighters really put there lives on the line fighting fires, please pray for them and the pilots doing there drops and flying into these fires in doing so.

Gosh, Patti! I know you told me not to worry, but how can I not? I am praying for you and Jack, and of course, all others in the paths of the fire, the firefighters, the families of the firefighters that died, and praying this fire can be contained. They say there is nothing with this fire that has been predictable and it is fury driven. It is going in three directions...one of the directions towards you...and only 10 miles from you! Hugs to you! I am thinking of you nonstop and praying. I will pray for God to give you strength, because I know how tired you are, but yet, you don't dare to go to sleep. Hugs to you, dear friend!

Please everyone...pray for Patti, Jack and the babies safety!

l was at petsmart yesterday and a customer said it was so bad in her area she took her dog and left. She said she was going back home later that night. My thoughts and prayers goes out to the hurt and everyone involved.

mistyblue · 08-30-2009, 11:49 PM

I have been thinking about you and your family all evening. Again, our prayers for all involved in this fight!
Please, don't wait too long to leave if it's coming your way. My husband was a firefighter and as I said before, we survived a bad one ourselves. If that thing is any closer than 10 miles or so, pack up your "irreplaceables" and leave immediately. God speed

Oh, Patti, I'm only just seeing this thread! It sounds so frightening

I pray that you and Jack stay safe. Thinking of you both xxx xxx

hartygirl · 08-31-2009, 09:31 AM

You are in our prayers, as are all of the firemen,people and pets in the area. I hope you can stay in your home and if you have to evacuate that everything goes smoothly. You are right that you can never be too prepared for this kind of thing.

Stay safe. We will await your next update

Here's a link to a video clip of the fire: msnbc.com Video Player

Everyone, let's all pray for Patti & Jack & the girls & everyone involed in this devastating fire. The fire has doubled in size over night & 2 firefighters have lost their lives.

Here's some pics I took w/my phone driving home last night.

Has anyone talked to Patti today?

Those fires look so scary. It is so sad that two brave firefighters lost their lives. I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers.

Hi Cindy...I talked to Patti yesterday and today and they are still okay, other than very heavy smoke in their area. Today Patti said they are still in danger, but she's so tired of the lack of media coverage, that she's just going to quit watching the news. She will be able to see the flames if it starts getting closer and will then know to leave. They may leave anyway if the air quality doesn't improve. For now they are safe and staying inside.

mimimomo · 09-02-2009, 02:55 PM

Thank You Connie for the update! We will send continued prayers for Patti & her family & everyone involved in this fire. I saw a glimps that it might have been started by someone.
