The Carmel wild fire - some after pictures and comments

This wild fire is far from over but at some parts the fire has burnt out. Kibbutz Beit Oren was burnt to the ground. Here is a picture from today December 4th of what is left from the cemetry


I am also very please to announce that ALL the animals in the Hai-Bar are safe That is because they learnt the lesson from the last fire. On the other hand, our useless government, politicians and especially our Minister of Interior (Eli Yishai) who is officially in charge of the Fire Services, are busy blaming each other and passing responsibility down the chain. Even the Palestinians have newer equipment than Israel - This is oin the head of the head of the Minister of Interior 
He Must Resign
