2 tourists injured in fire at Ben Shemen
None
Two tourists sustained burns in a fire that broke out in the Ben Shemen Forest and were taken to Assaf Harofeh Medical Center for treatment. Firefighters from the Ayalon station are on the scene and working to extinguish the flames. They believe the fire started as a result of a barbecue.
In the area of Rishon Lezion, firefighters overcame two other fires: one near the Volcani Institute of Agricultural Research and the second near Superland amusement park. The cause of fire at the amusement park appears to be the ignition of equipment that was in a container belonging to one of the park’s vendors. (Eli Senyor)
