Nesher participates in the planning of the "fire trails"

In preparation for the continuation of the "Fire Paths" project, which is designed to protect the city from fires and has already proven its effectiveness in preventing fires, at the beginning of June the Municipality of Nesher and the Fire and Rescue Authority will hold a "Residents' Meeting" to present the planned work plan in Givat Nesher.

As part of the conference, an overview of the project that has already been carried out during the last two years will be given, and the work plan planned for the coming period for the implementation of "buffer zones" in the Givat Nesher area will be presented. The work plan will be presented by the city engineer team and certified agronomists. Representatives of the fire authority at the conference will present the law's requirements to the residents, and residents' questions will be answered. The conference, titled: "Fire trails save lives - let's be partners", will be held next Sunday, June 5.6.2016, 18 between the hours of 00:20 and 00:XNUMX in the meeting room of the municipality building, in the presence of the mayor of Nesher, Avi Binmo, and an infrastructure and forestry officer in the coastal district of Fire services, Lahav Dani Atias.

As you remember, the great fire in Carmel in December 2010 claimed many lives. Following it, the State Comptroller ordered the implementation of actions to protect settlements against forest and forest fires. In this framework, the National Fire Authority ordered the creation of a buffer around houses bordering forests in settlements adjacent to wooded areas. The Nesher municipality is working on the issue and even embarked on a large-scale project in the Givat Nesher area as early as 2014 and the following year. This is a multi-year plan that is also designed to expand the access roads to the forested area so that the fire services and other emergency services can provide a quick and efficient response in the event that, God forbid, a fire breaks out.

It should be noted that the "fire trails", which have already been broken in the Givat Nesher area, which form a buffer between the residents' houses and the Carmel forests, have already proven their effectiveness in preventing fires and their spread towards the houses in the neighborhood. The project itself was carried out using licensed pruning contractors, in accordance with the instructions the municipality received from the Coastal District Fire and Rescue Authority. The works are carried out in coordination with KKL-Junk and the Nature and Parks Authority.

Infrastructure and Forestry Officer in the Beach District of the Fire Services, Lahav Dani Atias: "The best way to put out a fire is to prevent it. The fire trails are a multi-year, essential project designed to protect the lives of the residents in Nesher and nearby settlements. We welcome the work and the fruitful cooperation between the Fire and Rescue Authority and the Municipality of Nesher and invite the residents to come to the conference."
