Original Message AUSTRALIA has answered Israel's call for assistance to fight bushfires which have claimed over 40 lives and razed thousands of acres of land.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard today said a team of aviation experts would be deployed within 24 hours to help control and direct fire-fighting aircraft.

It comes following a formal request from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to help battle the forest fire, which began last week near the northern city of Haifa.

The team will be led by Victoria's chief fire officer Ewan Waller, who was one of those at the helm during Black Saturday.

Australia is also making moves to provide chemical fire retardants if Israel requests for them, and will leave the door open to possibly providing more resources.
