A fire broke out tonight (between Sunday and Monday) in the lot for selling vehicles in Kiryat Shmona.
Four fire crews from the Galilee-Golan station were rushed to the scene of the incident and extinguished the office building and the display of the lot that caught fire.
Much damage was caused to the place.
The crews got the fire under control, prevented the fire from spreading to the vehicles, searched for trapped people and ventilated the heavy smoke that had accumulated in the place.
The circumstances of the fire outbreak will be investigated by a fire investigator.
Also, as part of the tests, the criminal direction in which the fire broke out after an attempt to collect protection will also be examined.

"When the State of Israel wants to fight, it knows it"
As I recall, two months ago, in a special project of "Israel Hayom" on the lack of governance in the north and south, special emphasis was placed on the collection of protection in the north of the country and the great damage and huge fires suffered by the businesses that refuse to pay the sponsorship fees.
"When the State of Israel wants to fight something, it knows. There was a phenomenon of trafficking in women here, and it has disappeared. This is how the protection should be done," a police source told "Israel Today" against the background of the serious governance problem in the north.

"Today the protection was done in a clear way," the source added.
"A security company for criminals, which operates in a completely legal manner, offers security to a contractor. If he does not pay - he will suffer damage. But it is impossible to prove that the security company is responsible for this. It only offered security to the contractor. The police have no chance of finding the causes of the damage. And if a company The save will close, a new one will open.
"All in all, you need someone without a criminal record for the company to be registered in his name. In the end, 80 percent of the protection is the security companies - and to eradicate it you have to fight them. They launder the money and create a headache. The police also handle conflicts between the security companies - that is, the criminals - And it also needs to reach whoever harmed that contractor."
