The fire is a wild brush and thorn fire, and is burning right above the Begin highway, and below rechov Sorotzkin. As the fire gained momentum, more firefighting companies were called in from other regional councils to assist in bringing it under control.

As well, on rechov Sorotzkin a number of large building containing hundreds of families, have received evacuation orders, for fear that the fire will reach the buildings and endanger the lives of the people living there.

Due to the large amount of smoke in the area, police have evacuated a building on rechov Panim Meiros, and have closed traffic for both directions on the busy street.
Authorities have also started evacuating the senior home on rechov Sorotzkin.

At the moment, police, Hatzalah, firefighters, and Zaka volunteers, are assisting in evacuating residents from the threatened area. “Bechadrei Chareidim” was told that in one of the threatened buildings there is a Gan for children with special needs, and volunteers are currently evacuating the children from the endangered facility.
