Haifa mayor: Aim to have fire under control by tonight
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleHaifa Mayor Yona Yahav says he hopes the fire service will bring the blaze under control by the end of the day, and downplays reports of deliberate fire-setting.
“Some houses have been burned, but not that many, thank God,” he tells Channel 2. “I hope that we’ll have the fires under control by tonight. There are rumors that some of the blazes are arson, but I don’t have definitive proof yet.”
He added: “We ask people not to panic. Not to crowd the roads. Not to spread inaccurate information. And to follow instructions.”
