Q. See question above. Does one have to recite the brocho of Hagomel, if the wind was mainly facing the fire not at the house? Should it be said without Hashem’s name?
A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that one is not obliged to recite Hagomel since the fire was not facing the house. However, one may without any obligation say it without Hashem’s name.
