Raging Fire Brought Under Control

 


After 52 hours the fire is finally under control.
1500 firefighters fought valiantly to stop the fire reaching 
the Hadassah hospital.

From our front line view we saw the massive Hercules plane 
dropping the blue flame retardent on the last pockets of 
fire near the hospital.

This was a asuccessful experiment since the average 
firefighting plame can only drop 3000 litres of flame 
retardent wheras the Hercules can drop 18000 litres
