A bus loaded with police and prison guards heading to a security prison near the
conflagration lost control and turned over, prison service officials said,
adding the guards were trying to reach the endangered Damon facility to help
evacuate the prisoners. Around 500 prisoners in the Damon prison were reported
to have been safely evacuated earlier in the afternoon. Magen David Adom rescue
crews and firefighters fought to reach survivors trapped in the vehicle among
the flames.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu late Thursday asked a few European
countries to send firefighting aircraft to help fight the blaze. Ten planes are
now on their way from Cyprus, Greece and Spain. Israel has no such aircraft of
it's own by far.

There are reports of many casualties among the firefighters. Netanyahu commended
the firefighters and offered his condolences to the families of the victims in a
live broadcast to the nation, and said "we should learn a lesson, in order to be
able to deal with similar future events."
There are three major areas on fire as of 10:30 p.m. local time (2030 GMT),
according to Channel Two television. Fire officials told Army Radio that it was
the worst fire they' ve dealt with in decades, adding that the fire may become
one of the most severe natural disasters in Israel's history. People injured in
the blaze have been transferred to several hospitals across the north of the
country, officials said.

The fire broke out early Thursday in the Carmel mountain range overlooking the
city, which deteriorated into a huge blaze with thick smoke after several hours,
forcing the evacuation of people from schools, houses and the nearby prison.
The spreading smoke and ash "looks like a nuclear mushroom cloud," one local
resident told the Ynet news site Thursday afternoon.

Video clips from the scene show white ash covering roads in the area, and fire
crews battling numerous brush fires, glimpsed through thick drifting smoke.
"We're praying for a miracle for the wounded," Israel President Shimon Peres
said of the still-developing event early Thursday evening while attending a
Hanukkah candle lighting ceremony.
