Northern Israel was in a state of emergency as the worst ever fire in the country's history incinerated a bus carrying dozens of members of the Israel Prisons Service, killing everyone on board, destroying thousands upon thousands of dunams of forests on the Carmel Mountain ridge and injuring dozens.
By early Friday afternoon, fire had spread to new areas in the Carmel on Friday despite the efforts of firefighters who were aided by the first foreign firefighting aircraft which arrived to help control the blaze.
