As part of summer fire-season preparations, the Israel Fire and Rescue Service will carry out a controlled burn on Tuesday morning (June 22) in the Har'e Road area and the Ma'or Haim and Tzahal neighborhoods of Jerusalem. The activity is intended to create firebreaks and reduce dry vegetation. Smoke and heavy fire-truck traffic are expected, and residents are advised to keep children away, close windows, remove laundry, and move vehicles away from dry brush.
The Israel Fire and Rescue Service will conduct a controlled burn on Tuesday morning (June 22) in three clusters within Jerusalem: the Har'e Road area, and the Ma'or Haim and Tzahal neighborhoods. The operation is scheduled to begin in the morning hours and is part of the service's annual summer fire-season preparations.
The burn aims to create firebreaks and reduce the stock of dry vegetation that could fuel a fast-spreading wildfire during the hot, dry months. Residents were advised via a municipal announcement to keep children away from the area, close windows and ventilation openings, remove outdoor laundry during the burn, and move vehicles and equipment away from dry brush.
The Home Front Command's green (routine) civil-defense status is in effect across most of the country, as reported Sunday; this controlled burn is a routine public-safety measure, not tied to any security incident.
