Item 4.01
Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
 
In connection with the reorganization of McKennon, Wilson & Morgan LLP (the “Former Auditor”) certain of its audit partners resigned from the Former Auditor and have joined DBBMcKennon (“DBB”). The Former Auditor resigned as the independent auditor of BlueFire Ethanol Fuels, Inc. (the “Company”), effective May 5, 2009. The Former Auditor has been the Company’s auditor since September 14, 2006.
 
As a result of the above, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”), and the Board of Directors of Bluefire Ethanol Fuels, Inc. (the “Company”), on May 5, 2009, approved the resignation of the Former Auditor effective May 5, 2009, and the engagement of DBB as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009 effective May 5, 2009.
 
The change in accountants did not result from any dissatisfaction with the quality of professional services rendered by the Former Auditor.
 
The Company has not consulted with DBB for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, and the subsequent interim period through May 5 , 2009 regarding the application of accounting principles to any contemplated or completed transactions nor the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and neither written or oral advice was provided that would be an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to accounting, auditing or financial reporting issues. There were no matters that were either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) or a reportable event (as described in paragraph 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
 
In connection with the audits of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the subsequent interim period through May 5, 2009, there we no disagreements with the Former Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to their satisfaction would have caused them to make reference in connection with their opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement. The Former Auditor’s reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

During the Company's two most recent completed fiscal years, and interim period through May 5, 2009, there were no "reportable events" as such term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K with the Former Auditor.
 
The Company provided the Former Auditor with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K/ A , and requested that the Former Auditor furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether the Former Auditor agrees with the disclosure contained in this report, or, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree.  The Company has received the requested letter from the Former Auditor, and a copy of their letter is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to the original Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 11, 2009.
