    TFF,

    I've kind of made it my business to keep everyone updated on the fire and how to help. What I'm coming up with so far is that the Firefighters are in need of things like gatorade and snack food (i.e. power bars, granola bars that actually taste good). They also need toiletries. You can donate at any of the Naughton's Plumbing:

    1140 W. Prince
    4226 S. 6th Ave
    8190 E. 22nd St
    6062 E. Speedway Blvd.

    Red Cross is accepting monetary donations for the victims. That's all I could dig up right now.

    I'll keep everyone up to date as I get information. And I'm letting the PFFers know about this too.

    PM me with ?s. I might have more info after church tomorrow night.

    I will be praying hard. Having just bought a house I guess I'm really identifying with the folks from Summerhaven.

    SUNDAY NIGHT UPDATE

    Well the update is that there is no update. The Red Cross hasn't asked for anything but financial help. So, the above items can be dropped at Naughton's. I'll be updating as I get info.

    I'm in Oro Valley and it just looks like it is getting worse. We can actually see the flames now.

    I love this idea, Jada_Marnew. I'd like to stay updated on the fire up there, I have some friends who used to live in Summerhaven.

    I forget which radio station it was that was announcing it but it seems like they're taking stuff somewhere down on the UofA mall.

    It looks worse and worse from Oro Valley. I can even see flames during the day.
