Fire breaks out in Petah Tikva underground parking garage, spreading towards residential area
The Israel Fire and Rescue Authority said operations at the scene were continuing and that further updates would be provided as the situation develops.
A fire erupted on Saturday, August 8, 2026, in an underground parking garage at the construction site of the future BIG shopping complex in Petah Tikva. The blaze, which involved plastic materials and pipes, generated significant smoke that spread towards residential towers in the nearby Neve Gan neighborhood, near the intersection of Jabotinsky and Moshe Dayan streets. Fire and rescue crews, along with police, were dispatched to the scene to extinguish the flames, locate the source, and ventilate the garage. The cause of the fire remains undetermined. Separately, later that day, a bus caught fire on Highway 7 near the Beit Raban Interchange, leading to the closure of eastbound traffic, with no reported injuries.
