Stay Safe Israeli Teams

[Mark McLeod]

We have a page dedicated to the Haifa fires in our local newspaper.
It says more than 60,000 people have been evacuated with fire fighters and equipment like firefighting planes arriving from many nations to help.

Hope everyone gets through this.

Please let us know if any teams are/become affected and if there's a way that we can help.

Stay safe my friends in Israel.

I lived in Jerusalem for two years, so I keep up with what's going on in Israel on my own. There's hardly been any coverage about it over in the US.

That's sad to hear it's mostly in Haifa. I visited that area multiple times and found it to be one of the most beautiful places in Israel. I am praying for you all, and hope everyone stays safe.

Update for everyone. The fires in Haifa are all but put out. There is a lot of damage here, but no casualties. Now the fires are strengthening in the forest-y areas around Jerusalem (where more FRC teams are located), where there has already been one casualty and a few major injuries. More than 10 countries have sent firefighting planes, and Israel is paying a US company to use their firefighting 747 SuperTanker. Stay safe everyone and keep the Israeli teams in your prayers.
