Carmel Fire Victims Memorial

Carmel Fire Victims Memorial, Memorial cenotaph in Mount Carmel, Israel.

The Carmel Fire Victims Memorial stands at the road bend opposite Kibbutz Beit Oren where 44 people died in the December 2010 Carmel fire. It is an open site: a wall bears the names of the 37 Prison Service cadets, three police officers, three firefighters and the bus driver, with the emblems of the Prison Service, police and fire service above them. From the wall a large corten steel beam arcs overhead like a flame.

The Carmel Fire Disaster of December 2010 killed 44 people when a bus carrying Prison Service cadets was trapped by flames near this bend in the road opposite Kibbutz Beit Oren. A small temporary memorial shaped like a flame was set up after the fire. The permanent monument, designed by architect Nathaniel Ben Yitzhak, was inaugurated on 19 December 2011, a year after the disaster, at a state ceremony attended by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the bereaved families.

The memorial is an open remembrance site, not a closed monument: the temporary fire-flame memorial erected after the 2010 disaster, bearing the inscription "May their memory be blessed" and the flags of Israel, the Prison Service and the Fire and Rescue Service, was moved beside the main monument once it was built. Above the names on the wall appear the emblems of the Prison Service, the Police and the Fire Service.

The memorial stands at the road bend opposite Kibbutz Beit Oren, on Mount Carmel, at the spot where the fire trapped the bus. It is an open remembrance site with no gate or opening hours, so visits are possible at any time; the wall, glass panel and steel beam are outdoors and uncovered.

A small temporary memorial shaped like a flame, bearing the words "May their memory be blessed" and the flags of Israel, the Prison Service and the Fire and Rescue Service, stood on the spot before the main monument; after the 2011 inauguration it was moved beside the new wall. The permanent monument was designed by architect Nathaniel Ben Yitzhak.
