Aggressive walls of flames roar across the landscape and 30,000 fire fighters stand their ground. Here, within the firestorm, there is heroism, individuals band together to achieve herculean tasks beyond mortal ability. First among them are the local volunteer Firefighters who with limited training, funding and resources face the elemental monster encroaching on their own homes and communities.
I am in awe at the efforts of my brother and sister Firefighters. Nature is so out of balance that the element of fire has become a behemoth storm of destruction and consumption devouring everything in its path, yet my comrades manage to save town after town. I am honored to stand among them to witness the very best of what humanity can manifest
Yesterday we lost three of our own to this hungry regional firestorm, we collectively grieve for a minute and return our attention to the task at hand, stopping the fire, saving more communities, standing as the last line of defense against an incredible power. Our grieving is brief, our determination re-enforced.
This is a historic fire storm, I can think of no better community to call on than mine, educated in elemental power, thousands of Pagans across the nation can collectively send their magic, healing energy and prayers to assist in this effort. This is my call, do all that you personally can to manifest safety for communities, firefighters and all involved. It is my plea that you do not ignore this request, pause even if only for a moment and send what you can in support.

My thoughts are with you and your fellows who are fighting this battle.
I wish that I could send to you some of the rain we are receiving here today.
Where is this happening??
Hoping that rain comes in with a fury to help and that the winds are silent. May you all be safe and thank you for all you and all of you do.
Hephaestus give strength and the tools needed. May Aeolus only blow rain-carrying winds. May Zeus guide the Gods to protect the people!
I live in the Pacific Northwest, my prayers to the Gods are with you as well! I hope this is over soon!
I am also from the Pacific Northwest, living not far from a small town that was almost wiped out in less than an hour from the fire. My news feed on facebook is a continuous stream of pictures and posts asking for prayers and blessings not to mention the pictures of what is left from the fire.
I would like to take this opportunity to THANK YOU and all of those out there that are helping save peoples homes, animals and their way of life. If it weren't for people like you things would be so much worse, even though I know that for some they cant imagine worse right now. Thank you again
