Fire Protection and PRAYERS

My brother has been a volunteer Fireman in Eastern Washington for a very long time and this past week he got a call to come to the station NOW. He has been up on Badger Mountain with a large crew fighting a raging fire now for a week. On Wednesday last week he called me from top of the mountain and said, " I need you to call anyone you can that will pray for us up here. The winds are 50 - 78 mph and blowing walls of fire from ridge to ridge and exploding all over the place. They were in big danger and he needed people to pray for their protection. Later that night a wall of fire came right in front of them so close that they could feel the blast of heat on them and was covering them with an oily black soot. All of a sudden the fire abruptly stopped and split to the right and the left and then a wall of fire behind them. It didn't jump into the inner circle AT ALL. I know that God had HIS mighty hand of protection on them. There is POWER in prayer and he saw it first hand. The next day the winds died down a lot to give them a chance to work the fire. It is still burning out of control, so we are still praying for them and all the other fires burning all over. It is such a dangerous job and I am so thankful for all of those risking their lives for the safety of people in those areas.
