[Avodah] lights in the succah

[Eli Turkel]

<<Last year, our Sukkah almost burned.  There's still a scorch mark.  I
think we'll light inside.>>

On Israeli radio there was an announcement that every year the fire
department attends to numerous fires of lights in the succah. They claimed
that they had piskei halacha from many rabbis that if the candles will be
left unattended then better to light inside.
If a fire does occur it not only ruins the chag for the participants but
forces the firemen to be mechallel yomtov
