WILL NOW JOIN THE FIGHT AGAINST
CALIFORNIA’S WILDFRIES.
SACRAMENTO MAYOR DARRELL
STEINBERG WELCOMED A GROUP OF
ABOUT A DOZEN ISRAELI FIRE
FIGHTERS TODAY IN FRONT OF CITY
HALL.
THE CREWS GOT THE CALL TO HELP
ABOUT 72 HOURS AGO.
THEY PACKED A BUNCH OF GEAR,
SPENT 15 HOURS TRAVELING AND
THEY’LL HEAD OUT ON THE FIRE
LINES WITH CAL FIRE TOMORROW.
AT THIS POINT, THEY DON’T KNOW
WHAT AREA THEY’LL BE ASSIGNED TO
ASSIST.
BUT THEY EXPECT TO ENCOUNTER
SIMILAR CONDITIONS TO THOSE THEY
DEAL WITH BACK HOME.

VEGETATION IS PRETTY MUCH
REMINDING US OF OUR HOME COUNTRY
WHERE WE FIGHT WILDFIRES SAME
SEASON THAT YOU DO.
SO WE ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE
