The following images �were taken on Sunday morning 25 Kislev as a fuel tank was burning in a refinery in Haifa. Forty fire crews were working to bring the fire under control, a fire that engulfed the entire Haifa Bay area.

B�chasdei Hashem there were no reports of injuries.

Shortly after 11:30am, firefighters managed to reach the roof of the burning refinery and pour foam on it from multiple directions. They described the progress as �a significant relaxation.�

However, full control over the fire had still not yet been attained as the flames continued to rage. By 4:30pm, the flames had showed few signs of waning however and in fact were reinvigorated, throwing the fire services into a state of confusion as to why. “It isn’t clear. According to the representatives of the refinery the amount (of gas) was supposed to have been finished a long time ago,” said a firefighter. It later emerged that the amount of gas had been miscalculated.
