Karmiel Fire Displaces Residents, Destroys Four Apartments

A fire broke out on Tzahal Street in Karmiel, spreading to four apartments and forcing the evacuation of 44 apartments. One person was treated for light injuries at the Galilee Medical Center. The mayor, Moshe Kuninski, was on the scene from early morning with emergency forces, the city's security officer Gil Dahan, and municipal teams coordinating with emergency responders. The municipality opened an evacuation center at the Volunteer House near the fire for residents needing assistance, and approximately 20 people arrived there. "I am here on the ground with the municipal teams and emergency officials to ensure residents receive the necessary support," stated Mayor Kuninski. "We are operating in full coordination with firefighting, rescue, and police forces, prioritizing resident safety and assisting anyone in need. We will continue to support residents and act according to the needs on the ground." Firefighting and rescue forces, along with the Israel Police, remain at the scene to investigate the circumstances of the blaze, which has since been extinguished. The Karmiel Municipality will continue to monitor developments and provide assistance to residents as required.
