Ten firefighting crews are working at the Nahal Lotem brush fire in Haifa, where the blaze's spread has been halted but full control has not yet been achieved, N12 reports. Preliminary findings indicate the fire likely started from welding work being carried out in the wadi to build a fence against wild boars.
Monday's brush fire in Haifa's Nahal Lotem area has been partially contained, with the Israel Fire and Rescue Services reporting that the fire's spread has been halted but full control has not yet been achieved. Ten crews are on scene. Preliminary findings from a fire investigator suggest the blaze started from welding work being carried out in the wadi to build a fence against wild boars, according to N12.
