Europinion-Lessons Learned from Israel’s Mount Caramel Forest Fire

"It's so hard to grow a forest, because it takes time, and it is the beauty of the country. Everyone should take responsibility for it, and whoever sees something unusual, or sees kids doing dangerous things and disregards it by not caring...but everyone has to take responsibility for his environment."


"I think the most important thing, which needs to be done is to take into account the views of the professionals, of the firefighters, who kept talking about the disadvantage when it comes to big fires."

 "I know that the government can improve conditions and must make the best possible things, like bringing more fire trucks to increase the fire shutdown system, because I know that I was a firefighter for three years and served as a soldier in the IDF and as soldiers, we did not have such a big shutdown system, we were even deficient and we have to take this into account, because once it has happened, we can't go back."
