Israel’s forests, from the lush Carmel range to the Negev’s desert oases, are treasures of natural beauty, biodiversity, and national heritage. However, these forests are increasingly threatened by wildfires, which can devastate vast areas in a short time.

Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael – Jewish National Fund’s (KKL-JNF) brave firefighters are the frontline defenders against these fierce blazes, risking their lives to protect our land and people.

To be a firefighter means always being alert. KKL-JNF firefighters’ vigilance is particularly heightened in summer and autumn, when the ground is parched, and every spark can turn into a wildfire.

To ensure their safety and effectiveness, we equip them with specialized protective clothing and gear.

The Need for Specialized Gear

Wildfires are unpredictable and dangerous, often fueled by strong winds and dry conditions. Standard firefighting equipment is not enough to withstand the intense heat and challenging conditions of forest fires.

Specialized protective clothing and gear are essential for our firefighters to perform their duties safely and efficiently. This includes:

Fire-Resistant Clothing:. Durable, heat-resistant suits that protect against extreme temperatures and flames

Breathing Apparatus: High-quality respirators to ensure clean air supply in smoke-filled environments.

Fire-Resistant Gloves and Boots:. Specialized gloves and boots that provide both protection and mobility.
