Update on Duckett Fire near Rainbow Trail Lutheran Camp…
Thank you for your prayers regarding the fire near Rainbow Trail Lutheran Camp!! As of this morning, June 15th, the fire is 2300 acres in size. It is believed that all around camp has burned, and even some of camp property has burned, but no structures have been lost. This week’s campers have been moved to another camp west of Westcliffe for the remainder of the week. Updates can be found on www.inciweb.org (look under Duckett Fire) and on www.rainbowtrail.org . It is still uncertain what is happening next week when several youth from Trinity along with Becca will be heading to Rainbow Trail for the week. Also, Tim Farrell, Trinity member, was called up on Monday to go down there to fight the Duckett Fire. Please keep him and all the firefighters in your prayers for safety and for successful firefighting efforts. Oh, and pray for rain!
