Extensive fire prevention work has begun in a eucalyptus grove near the stadium in Kiryat Haim, a suburb of Haifa. The effort is a joint initiative between the Krayot Fire and Rescue Station and the Haifa Municipality. The need for clearing was identified following a major fire in 2025, which was difficult for firefighters to access due to dense vegetation, accumulated trash, and blocked routes. Firefighting aircraft were deployed to protect nearby homes. Additional hazards included trees threatening power lines, a lack of internal access roads, and the presence of homeless individuals in the grove. Since November 3, specialists have been pruning eucalyptus trees, removing dry grass and low branches, raising tree canopies, and clearing access routes for emergency vehicles. Accumulated garbage, plastic waste, and cut branches are also being removed. The objective is to reduce the risk of fire spread and ensure rapid access for emergency services to potential ignition points.
