# 2118 Search and Burn
One (such as a physician) who is doing bedikas chametz and knows that he might be unable to destroy what he finds the next day, as is customary, because the next day he might be osek in pikuach nefesh the whole day, (he does not have someone to do it for him, as there are no observant people available on that area), should he refrain from making the bracha?
However, if he may destroy the chometz he finds immediately at the end of the bedika at night, should he then make a brocho?
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that indeed he should make a brocho on the bedika and then proceed to burn the chometz after finishing that same night.
