Fire crews responded to two separate fires of outdoor air-conditioning units in Bnei Brak on Saturday night, first on Baal Shem Tov Street at 21:50 and later on Sorotzkin Street. Both blazes were extinguished without injuries, according to fire department reports.
Fire and rescue crews were dispatched to Baal Shem Tov Street in Bnei Brak at 21:50 on Saturday night following a report of a fire in an outdoor air-conditioning unit. The fire was extinguished without casualties. After Shabbat ended, crews responded to a second fire — also in an outdoor AC unit — on Sorotzkin Street in the same city. That blaze was likewise put out with no injuries, according to reports from the Bnei Brak fire department relayed by Yediot Bnei Brak.
These two incidents follow a string of fire-related calls in Bnei Brak in recent days. As The Zioneer previously reported, a fire broke out on Sorotzkin Street earlier Saturday evening (20:38). Additional fires in recent weeks included blazes at a store, a school, and several apartments. The cause of the two Saturday night AC fires is under investigation; no further details on damage have been released.
