The biggest Lag B'omer madurah ever....

Lag B'omer is usually a very exciting time of the year around here. Children are all excited about their maduras. Parents have to find ways to entertain their children over the vacation and there is an overall  element of excitement in the air.
This year was no different, save for a little mishap that occurred on Motzei Shabbos at the madura of our local neighborhood shul.....



While Simmy was trying to take some pics of the children at the small fire the neighborhood puts together.... 

 (Chaim wasnt really in the mood... )

Out of the corner of our eyes we noticed a few sparks flying upwards towards the trees nearby.
It didn't seem like that big of a deal at first, and all that were there were sure it would die down on its own...

Little did we know, that wouldn't be the story..
  
Within ten seconds of the previous picture this is what the trees looked like....

                 
                       And twenty seconds after that....

Within a few short minutes all the surrounding trees caught flame and while boruch Hashem no one was hurt there was significant damage to the neighbors property as well as to the poor trees and surrounding bushes and gardens.

Needless to say, this was the largest lag B'omer fire Maalot Dafna (and probably the whole Yerushalayim) has ever experienced. 

Hope you enjoyed yours as well.
