KKL-JNF workers and foresters asked the public on Saturday to evacuate Nahal HaShofet and Menashe Park following a fire that started in Ramat HaShofet and spread to the area.
KKL-JNF firefighting teams, firetrucks and firefighting aircraft operated at the scene to contain the fire, and the presence of the visitors in the area could have be life-threatening and constituted an obstruction to firefighting efforts.
