Due to heavy windstorms, the second week in January 2025, fires erupted across Southern California, destroying multiple structures, killing others.
Please take a moment to stop and pray for the many fires we are experiencing. Here are some prayer points:
No more fires start - still have more winds, early drought, dry conditions throughout, vegetation can spark a fire quickly
Containment - most are zero percent
Firefighters - need more, most exhausted, need rest, stamina and encouragement
Police - highway closures, looters, managing who can and can't go places
Water - ran out in some areas
Rain - we are
Winds - to subside long enough to manage fires with air power
Evacuees - safe places to go, support from friends and family, comfort, what to do next
People who lost homes - time to grieve, help with next steps, comfort, basic needs
Go fund me account for neighbor's parents who lost their homes
Fire insurance - some dropped this past year, now what, those who have it would be able to rebuild
Animals and shelters - safety and sufficient places
Power restored - last checked over 400k without
Evacuation centers sufficient places and safe
Air quality - people use necessary precautions when outside, toxins are now included in some areas
Water - those affected by Eaton fire have been told to not drink or use tap water at all. Only bottled water. Enough bottled water available.
Transportation - Semi trucks, high vehicles, in winds, several fell over one driver died, safe travels and cautious
Government officials - get resources needed to stop the fires, provide needs to victims and be held accountable for what plans were made or not
