Israeli Firefighter in California
(Jewish News of Northern California) Maya Mirsky - Israeli firefighter Idan Braun came halfway around the world to help fight Northern California's wildfires. He was part of a team of 10 Israeli firefighters who for nearly two weeks worked shoulder to shoulder with state firefighters to push back against the wildfire in Napa and Sonoma counties. It is nearly fully contained now. "In the first day, we spent 24 hours straight on the mountain," Braun said. The Israeli crew also subbed at understaffed firehouses in the Sacramento area.
