Please could you say a prayer for our little neighbourhood. There is a big fire happening just down the road from us right now. I can count 3 helicopters and it is the hottest, windiest day today. I have the air-conditioning on in our house and it's really struggling to beat the heat.

There has been a complete fire ban in our area, so I don't know how this started.

It looks pretty close to the place belonging to a dear Christian couple who are friends of ours and who have just started building their home - there are lots of new homes in the area, so I'm sure the fire-department are battling really hard to get it under control. I can't see much smoke - just a haze, but it's so very windy, it could just be blowing into nothing.

Thank you so much! My dh has gone down to check it out, so I'll update later.
