Multiple Fire Crews Contain Major Blazes in Cornwall, Jerusalem

Firefighters have been actively responding to multiple fires, including a significant brushfire near Jerusalem's Ein Kerem neighborhood, where they have successfully contained the blaze and prevented it from reaching nearby homes. Around 35 firefighting squads and eight planes, supported by police-led evacuations of vulnerable populations such as a special needs home, have been deployed to manage the situation. Train traffic and key access routes in southern Jerusalem were temporarily halted to facilitate emergency operations. This incident follows recent fires in the region, including a major fire in the Jerusalem hills a month ago that caused widespread evacuations and event cancellations. Separately, in Cornwall, UK, crews from five fire stations have been tackling a two-story property fire that spread to the roof, using breathing apparatus and hose jets to control the flames. These efforts highlight ongoing challenges faced by emergency services in managing wildfires and structural fires in densely inhabited areas.
