Posted 5 p.m., November 15, 2008 In response to major wind-fanned wildfires raging across more than 11,000 acres throughout Southern California, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger declared a state of emergency in Los Angeles, one day after Santa Barbara County’s Montecito fire claimed 111 homes and inflicted damage to Westmont College. These Southern California fires destroyed hundreds of home, displaced thousands, and shut down major freeways Thankfully, Azusa Pacific University is not affected by any of the major fires still burning (Freeway Fire, Sayre Fire, and Tea Fire) nor are any of its seven regional centers. Please join APU students, faculty, and staff in prayer for the firefighters battling the blazes, as well as the families and individuals who have lost their homes.
