Fire update

The kids made it here safe. The fire as of Friday AM is only 10 percent contained. As many as 40 homes destroyed and 5,000 more at risk. It has burned 20,500 acres. All roads to Paradise are closed. Only Pentz is open for traffic leaving Paradise. No one can enter except emergency personnel. It is really scary. Please continue prayer for these families and the brave fire fighters.
The cause of fire is under investigation but they think it looks like arson.

I watched the news yesterday and saw what was going on up there. I hope the flip house is safe. That would be terrible to lose it.
Glad to see your okay. Wow, a mile from your home.
There is a big fire in Santa Cruz too. Bad time of year for this, seems we have had our share of fires here in Cali.
