(Springerville, AZ) — Fire crews are looking to make further progress today in battling a wildfire in eastern Arizona. The “Wallow Fire” has chewed up more than 386-thousand acres and is the second largest wildfire in state history. Firefighters were finally able slow the spread of the flames yesterday as the winds died down. They expect more favorable conditions today but warn Saturday could be rough, with winds predicted to increase. The fire has destroyed 22 homes and 24 other structures.

As the Wallow Fire in Arizona continues to burn towards New Mexico, a wild simulation company based out of Santa Fe is using some of the latest technology to track and model the fire.
With the projector off- the table is simply a box of sand- but with the flip of a switch SimTable operators can present 3D layouts of a fire and simulate its direction and burn patterns. The system also can model weather patterns, account for different types of fuel and how they burn, topography and fire fighting methods.
On Thursday Chas Curtis showed KOB Eyewitness News 4 a detailed topographical representation of the Wallow Fire and its surrounding areas pointing out the various fuel sources the fire is burning as it approaches the New Mexico border.
“When a fire gets this big Mother Nature is in control and the winds are going to be the biggest factor,” said Curtis.
So far Northeast winds have propelled the fire through dense areas of heavy fuel in Arizona’s Apache National Forest.
“What we see is it really scooped up and grew significantly,” Curtis demonstrates out as he animates the fires progression on the 5th day as it spreads out towards Alpine, Arizona.
Just north of the fire in Arizona and parts of New Mexico, The SimTable projects low fuel areas that consist of some high grasses and somewhat flat desert landscapes.
Curtis says the more level topography and lower levels of vegetation will likely help firefighters with containment but east toward the town of Luna in New Mexico, ridges and more fuel opportunities for the fire could be trouble for crews working to protect the area.
As a laser pointer glides along the SimTable near Luna, the types of trees are instantly displayed.
“You can see we are in very similar high density fuel types,” Curtis explains as he points out dense areas of timber and hardwood types.
The SimTable also shows the fire heading toward an important power line in New Mexico.
“This black line here is a power line that is running from the Palo Verde nuclear power plant and supplies much of southern New Mexico and East Texas,” says Curtis as he traces the line from north to south.
Curtis tells KOB that two SimTables are currently in Reserve, New Mexico running simulations on the fire and providing information to the public on the fires behavior.
Please continue to pray for containment of this fire…..also for safety of all those fighting this monster!
Today I want to share with you this wonderful true story……..
Fiorello LaGuardia, who, when he was mayor of New York City during the worst days of the Great Depression and all of World War II, was called “the little Flower” by adoring New Yorkers because he was only five foot four and always wore a carnation in his lapel. He was a colorful character who used to ride on the New York City fire trucks!!!! My kind of guy!! I used to ride with my Dad on the fire truck at times in Windom! Oh what fun, what memories. Anyhow, He would raid speakeasies with the Police, take entire orphanages to ball games, and whenever the newspapers were on strike he would go on the radio on Sundays and read the funny pages to the kids!!!! Sounds like he was a kid himself!!!
One bitterly cold morning on the night of Jan. in 1935, the Mayor turned up at a night court that served the poorest ward of the city. LaGuardia dismissed the judge for the night and took the bench himself! Within a few minutes, a tattered old lady was brought before him, charged with stealing a loaf of bread. She told the mayor that her daughter was sick, and her two grandchildren were starving. But the shopkeeper, from whom the bread was stolen, refused to drop the charges. “It’s a bad neighborhood, Your Honor,” the man told the Mayor. “She’s got to be punished to teach people a lesson.”
Mayor LaGuardia sighed. he turned to the women and said, “I’ve got to punish you. The law makes no exceptions—-ten dollars or ten days in jail.” But even as he pronounced the sentence, the Mayor was reaching into his pocket. He extracted a bill and tossed it into his famous sombrero, saying, “Here is the ten dollar fine, which I now remit; and furthermore I am going to fine everyone in this courtroom fifty cents for living in a town where a person has to steal bread so that her grandchildren can eat! Mr. Bailiff, collect fines and give them to the defendant.”
So the following day the New York City newspapers reported that $47.50 was turned over to the bewildered old lady who had stolen a loaf of bread to feed her starving grandchildren, fifty cents of that amount being contributed by the red-faced grocery store owner, while some seventy petty criminals, people faced with traffic tickets, and NYC Police officers, each of whom had just paid fifty cents for the privilege of doing so, gave the Mayor a STANDING OVATION!
What an extraordinary moment of grace for everyone in that courtroom! The grace of God operates at a profound level in the life of a living person.
Oh, that we would recognize God’s grace when it comes to us!!!!!!!!!!!! AMEN!
For those of you in New Mexico there is another heart warming story in today’s Albuquerque Journal about my old Dear friend, the late Albuquerque Dukes General Manager, Pat McKenna. Pat was one of the first friends I made when we moved to the Duke City, now almost 17 years ago now, he was so gracious to me, he knew my friends in the Minnesota Twins front office and he respected my love for the game of baseball. Pat gave me a Dukes polo-shirt that first visit that I still have today! he also had me throw out the first pitch at a game! Pat, was a big man, I called him a big bear, jolly most of the time, but he could growl! LOL! LOL! he growled out of love! Anyhow read today’s Journal’s Sports page on Pat and the Middleman!!! yes, the Noodle man!!! For you out of state, the Noodle man is a character that Pat helped launch for Minor league baseball, known as Myron Noodle man, who now entertains thousands and thousands of fans each year!
In the Love of Jesus Christ,
Dewey Sharon and Family
