The Israeli Fire Department has issued a warning related to the extreme weather conditions expected to prevail during the coming days. In addition to the high temperatures, the weather will be very dry, with strong winds in many areas - ideal conditions for fire to spread rapidly, G-d forbid.
"Despite the heatwave, we expect there to be many hikers visiting forests, parks, and open areas in the coming days. The Fire Department asks the public to refrain from lighting fires in any of these places, and to be careful to observe safety regulations in order to prevent fires from spreading. The public is asked to demonstrate responsibility and awareness in any case of fire. If there is even a suspicion of danger, people should call 102 to summon fire fighters to the scene."
