Breaking: Massive fire in Jerusalem forest
There's a massive forest fire in the Jerusalem Forest in the area of Yad Vashem. Thus far, there is no threat to the Pi Glilot oil tanks, which are in the forest underneath the Har Nof neighborhood. Currently, the fire is out of control, due to winds whipping it around. Yad Vashem has been evacuated. The fire is spreading toward Beit Zayit which is located below Har Nof. There is smoke in Bayit Vegan (one side of Yad Vashem) and in Har Nof (which is above Beit Zayit on the other side).Three firefighting planes are attempting to gain control over the fire.
I tried to upload a map for you, but it's encrypted so I couldn't.

I have a visual of the area now and I can tell you that it's creeping up on the Pi Glilot side of Mt. Herzl.
