A Bizarre Fire Incident

There appeared to be several fires burning at the abandoned school near our Absorption center this afternoon. The firemen came, and in a wonderful moment, the local kids helped the firemen extend their hose through a fence to get to the fire. It was really touching. Also, one of the firemen was wearing a yarmulke. I don't know if firemen have the same heroic status outisde of the United States, but here in Israel, they seem reasonably well-liked.
