Firefighters from the Hadera station, alongside teams from KKL-JNF and supported by aerial firefighting units, have successfully contained a large forest fire near Umm Al-Fahm. The fire, which began on October 4th on a forested mountainside, threatened to spread but its advance has now been halted. The Israel Fire and Rescue Services' Coastal District reported that the difficult terrain and accessibility issues posed significant challenges for ground crews and equipment. Four firefighting aircraft were deployed to drop foam on the flames, with primary efforts focused on the southern flank of the blaze. The coordinated efforts of ground and air teams led to the containment of the fire front. Currently, there is no direct threat to residential areas. Firefighters remain on the scene, working to extinguish and cool the entire perimeter to prevent reignition.
