State Comptroller Matanyahu Englman sent a letter warning Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about potential fires ahead of the Lag BaOmer holiday next week, considering the expected heatwave conditions in Israel. In the letter, Englman emphasized the importance of 'immediately addressing deficiencies in the fire department's emergency response readiness.' He noted the gaps identified during his tour of the Memorial Day fire area earlier this week, adding that these events 'must serve as a wake-up call for comprehensive government preparation in dealing with emergency situations.'
