Why? Seems to me like it can't hurt. It's not like he pulled funding for fighting fires.

Nor did the Gov call for new taxes to future fires. That's a good Rep Gov. So, pray baby pray! God will keep from becoming a "Burn baby burn."
Aim at at nothing and you're sure to hit it.

Shouldn't the Utah Governer be praying to find out why God started the fires in the first place...?

I didn't vote for Herbert, but it's hard to argue against success. We had a downpour in Utah County yesterday.

Please can you target your prayers a little more specifically next time to avoid collateral deluge...
