Firefighters from the Tiberias station, reinforced by crews from northern district stations, have brought a brush and forest fire near Bu'eine Nujeidat under control, the Israel Fire and Rescue Services reported on Monday evening.
The fire, which broke out in open terrain, threatened a nearby factory and agricultural land. Ten firefighting crews, together with rapid response teams on 'Fire Chariot' ATVs, and personnel from the Jewish National Fund (KKL), the Israel Defense Forces, and the Nature and Parks Authority operated in challenging terrain to halt the blaze.
Teams will continue thorough scans in the coming hours to ensure no remaining hotspots, followed by final extinguishing operations. The Fire and Rescue Services reminded the public that lighting fires in open areas is strictly prohibited, particularly in weather conditions that encourage rapid fire spread. Residents are instructed to report any smoke or fire immediately to the emergency hotline 102.
This is the latest in a series of brush fires in northern Israel during the current dry season, as The Zioneer has reported in recent weeks.
