Ship's engine catches fire while docked at Haifa port, 10 firefighting teams responding
The ship, named "Puffin," is docked at pier B2. Firefighters at the scene are working to control the fire and prevent it from spreading further.
Ten fire and rescue teams have been dispatched to battle a fire in the engine room of a ship anchored at the Haifa Port, the Israel Fire and Rescue Authority announced on Sunday. The vessel, named Puffin, is currently docked at pier B2. Firefighters at the location are diligently working to contain the flames and prevent them from spreading.
This incident follows a similar blaze at Haruvit Forest near Kiryat Malachi on Saturday, where six firefighting aircraft and ground-based teams were deployed. The fire in the forest spread to the treetops due to windy conditions, according to Maariv. Subsequently, KAN News reported on Saturday that the forest fire had been brought under control, with arson suspected as the ignition source.
