Actually the artice referred to 2000 Dunam (a dunam is 1/4 acre). But for a semi-desert country like Israel, 500 acres is like 20,000 where you live! Hi Toney,

You guys have got a lot a trees, including those where Big Foot or Sasquash is supposed to be roaming in. Actually the artice referred to 2000 Dunam (a dunam is 1/4 acre). But for a semi-desert country like Israel, 500 acres is like 20,000 where you live!

When I saw a picture of trees burning near a road after a rocket attack in northern isreal I did not realize how precious those trees were till I heard you speak of 2000 acres as a large fire. Currently in my state of washington we have three fires the smallest of which at 2700 acres is in a wilderness area and is mostly being watched while the other 2 are fought by local and federal hotshots. Fires are a part of life here. I saw a firestorm(100000 plus acres) once threaten my valley but it was naturally caused. I am trying to comphrend the scope of your firestorm but the scale defies my imagination. Everything is a matter of perspective.

I hope they are getting a lot of help from the community. I'm sure even something simple like meal delivery would be a big help to them. Heros indeed!
