“I’m tired of arguing with you! It would take only few hours to train the soldiers. It’s not really dangerous as long as there’s a professional in charge. They don’t have to be close to the fire to make a fire line. Aircraft won’t work because of the wind!”
The IDF is warned about going into Arab villages yet every once and a while they have to rescue soldiers who wandered in. As far as training them in a few hours they are not going to pay attention claiming it’s not their job. So unless you have professional firefighter supervisor for every 10 soldiers watching over his squad a lot of soldiers are going to get hurt. As far as being far from the fire, the fires move rapidly when driven by winds. As far as the aircraft wouldn’t work , on Friday they brought a supertanker to drop water on the fires putting out fires according to Vois Iz Nieas.
This is a repeat of the Mt. Carmel Fire, the lessons weren’t learnt. I think it a sign that the Jewish People has to do do teshuvah, perhaps we can start with reducing Loshan Horah and in turn Hashem will fight these fires for us.
