amen.

There is a crew of work men working on a public building in North Andros. Yesterday they decided to start a fire to burn some of the refuse/old construction materials that they had taken from the building. They know we haven't had any decent rain for weeks and that everywhere is parched dry. Apparently they left the area with the fire burning, the wind picked up and spread the fire. We had to close school yesterday in the middle of exams because of the smoke and the fact that the fire was a basketball's width away from our boundary. One of our teachers who lives next to the school in govt accommodation had to spend the whole evening trying to save his house. When he called the MOW they said they had no trans. :eek:
Today the fire has spread all through the bush for miles and is burning completely out of control. We have no fire engine and more buildings could be threatened including all of the island administrative complex, clinic and BTC if the wind changes direction even slightly.
Please pray for rain for North Andros we need to out this fire badly!
School in the middle of a pine forest hey?
