PRAYERS NEEDED: Wild fires in Central Texas

memike said

Prayers for all the families and fire fighters in the air and on the ground
This is so sad, I herd that there are water tankers available (air plains) but for some unknown reason our government will not let them fly :banghead: They all have past inspection and pilots on the ground :wack: I herd this on a talk radio station :angryfir: Can anyone make me understand what's up with this ? or have I been miss informed :sign7:

Dear lord send a tropical rain storm to rain down on Texas amen!:prayer:

Thanks memike,
We had a DC10 land Tuesday and all the fire retardants flew in Wednesday and the crew is required to rest till Friday morning.At this time they will start fighting that Bastrop fire,they came from California,so no telling how long they were flying there...
Hope that bad boy can put a dent in that fire,winds are supposed to pick up on Friday...Just pray for calm weather and we are all good.
Rain is just more than miracle right now.
Past few days here were Gorgeous,cool nights and 90's in the later day,with hardly any wind...Could not be nicer ,weather wise.
