Fires in the Northwest

Infernal merges into a wall of flame...

"America the beautiful, what beauty shall you have when the fires are upon you?" - Our Lady 5-18-77

SHOW LOW, Ariz., June 24 — Firefighters battled Monday to create a fire break to prevent a mammoth 305,000-acre blaze formed by the union of two wildfires from overrunning this evacuated mountain town. But fire officials indicated the last-ditch effort to spare the community of 7,700 would likely prove futile. “The fire has abated a little but we’re still in a lot of danger here,” Jim Paxon, a spokesman for the firefighters, said on NBC’s “Today” show. “We think it’s an inevitability that the fire is going to enter Show Low.”
AT DAYBREAK, fire crews were heading out to attempt to create a fire break in a nearby canyon to try to cut off an eastward route for the fire, which has forced an estimated 30,000 people to flee their homes. The work had been abandoned earlier because of dangerous conditions.
The firefighters then planned to pull back, let the fire hit the town and attack it where they can.
“A lot of us who have been doing this game for over 30 years and this is the biggest and meanest fire we’ve been on,” Paxon said on CBS’ “The Early Show.”
The fire — created Sunday when the Chedeski and Rodeo fires merged — has consumed 305,000 acres, or about 480 square miles, fire officials estimated Monday. The burn zone is bigger than the city of Los Angeles and more than 16 times the size of Manhattan.
About 30,000 people have fled homes in more than half a dozen towns, including Pinetop-Lakeside, Linden, Pinedale, Clay Springs and Heber-Overgaard, the officials said.

At least 186 homes have been destroyed, Paxon said, including 116 homes in towns just west of Show Low. The other 70 were in Heber-Overgaard, a community 35 miles west of Show Low that was overrun Saturday.
The Rodeo fire, the larger of the two fires that came together Sunday, was thought to have been caused Tuesday by people, although authorities didn’t know whether it was an accident or arson. The other was started Thursday by a lost hiker signaling for help.
“Many homes up here have been built board by board. We didn’t just walk into a subdivision where a home was already built. We built from scratch,” said 61-year-old Sue Aldrete, who was evacuated from her Pinetop-Lakeside home Saturday. “It was a labor of love.”

FLAMES ADVANCE
Show Low was mostly empty as the flames approached the town’s outskirts. All the new cars at Show Low’s Hatch Toyota were off the lot, while RVs, pickups and cars abandoned by evacuees covered the parking lot at the Kmart and Family Dollar.
The American Red Cross set up four shelters for evacuated residents.
More than 3,000 had registered at the shelter in Eagar, where cots covered the artificial turf of a domed high school football stadium, Maj. William Wilhoit of the Arizona National Guard said at the Emergency Operations Center.
In Holbrook, about 50 miles north of the fire, about 165 residents stayed overnight at a shelter set up in a high school, where meals, medical services and mental health care were available. One building at the school was being used to house the evacuated residents’ pets — about 50 dogs, cats and birds.

The amazing Bayside Prophecies...
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995.

America the beautiful, what beauty shall you have when the fires are upon you?
Our Lady - "America the beautiful, what beauty shall you have when the fires are upon you? O My children, I repeat Myself over and over again to you, hoping in My Mother's heart that you will listen. The sheep are straying; the shepherds are lost. Many have sold their souls to get to the head." (5-18-77)

Warnings gone by unnoticed...
Our Lady - "My child, many exhortations and warnings have been given to mankind. You must go forward and refresh their memories. Many have forgotten the warnings from Heaven, for they go about saying, 'Where is the promise of His coming, and where are the warnings that you speak of and write of?'
"O My children, you are truly blind! These warnings have been given for time, and an extension of time to mankind before the major catastrophe shall be sent upon you, the baptism of fire. You have received these warnings that have gone by unnoticed: floods, hurricanes, fires, disasters, accidents that are not accidents, earthquakes in places that have never experienced such terror before. How many warnings must the Eternal Father send upon mankind before they will awaken and do penance?
"Prayer, atonement, and sacrifice, My children - is this too much to ask of you, in the realization of what you are going to pass through?" (9-28-76)

Veronica - Now Our Lady has taken me by the hand and we are moving over to the other side of the earth. Oh, there are great fires upon earth; death, plague, misery. (3-24-74)

You hold the balance...
"Pray, My children, a constant vigilance of prayer. Pray that your leaders will recognize the signs given by your God. Shall these increase in volume: the earthquakes, the pestilence, the fires, the floods, the great heat? My children, who holds the balance for this? You, My children, do! The merciful heart of the Father watches patiently, but I repeat: the sands are fast running out of the hourglass." - Our Lady, March 18, 1977

Our Lady - "You will observe, My child, the fires that will rage across earth." (1-31-76)
