So nice to have an official report

[Tortuga]

One of our forum members lost her home in the fire.

The local news reports that the fires have destroyed 5700 structures and 33 people are confirmed dead.

 

A brother with LDC told me today that he had heard that a brother went to a kingdom hall and spent the entire night keeping the area wet with a garden hose. The homes around the KH were damaged but the KH was not damaged. This is one of those stories that may be true but may never be officially confirmed, so take it as-is.

I do know that one Kingdom Hall survived when all the houses around it were totally destroyed. A brother showed me the picture his daughter sent to him. I don't know about watering the area down to protect the Hall, but that is what his picture seemed to show.

Nice to know. I was told it was in Rohnert Park and the brother showed up in the morning covered in soot and smiling...

Correct, Rohnert Park, I had forgotten the name. The brother who had the photo daughter is from Rohnert Park.

It seems like these fires always happen when there’s no rain in the forecast...

The lack of rain is one of the reasons the fires are so bad.
