DALLAS, April 22 (UPI) -- Texas Gov. Rick Perry is asking Texans to pray for rain in the fight against wildfires that have burned more than 1.8 million acres and killed several people.
In an official proclamation posted on the governor's Web site Wednesday asking people to pray to the god of their choice, Perry said firefighters need all the help they can get to douse the many still-uncontained blazes.
