Wildfires

Anyone who has lived for any length of time in Southern California knows about the fires that we get occassionally. Usually they are contained pretty quickly, but sometimes they're not.
Right now we have a pretty bad one that's been spreading since this morning in San Diego County. The fire isn't super close to where I am, but the winds have already managed to bring smoke and some ash to the air here.
At least one person has died so far, and there are at least 7 seriously injured firefighters.
Please pray for the injured and lost. Also for the family's that are losing their homes as I write this, and for those that are having to evacuate. Specifically my friend Amy's room mate's family just received a mandatory evacuation notice. They're about 9 miles from the fires right now.
