Last night I spoke with Jim by phone. They are still breathing too much smoke and they don't know how long it will last. American firefighters have arrived which gives some relief to an already well stretched Australian fire crew and resources. Together, they are getting some fire lines cut and some controlled back burning to remove the fuel supply from the cleared lines. Jim and Jen's children live nearby and are still needing to hose some burning embers off the roof of their homes. Finally after 10 days closed, the only highway in or out of his area is open again. Progress!
They are still in our prayers and will remain so though it all.
Mainly, it was just great to hear Jim's voice after a period of not knowing what to expect.
