Rami Zaritski, head of fire protection in KKL-JNF: "Due to weather forecasts expecting an extreme heat wave this week, starting fire in forest areas is strictly forbidden. We call the public to show responsibility and caution to avoid fires that will risk lives, animals and natural groves. Also, be sure to pack a lot of water with you during field trips, to avoid dehydration."
