On 8 June 2011 fire burned 20 to 30 dunums (4 dunums equal about 1 acre) of Palestinian land owned by five different families. The land was part of a plot of 50 dunums planted with different kinds of fruit trees and garden plants. One of the property owners reported to CPTers Paulette Schroeder, Jessie Smith, Laurens van Esch, and Esther Mae Hinshaw that the fire was set by settlers who live in an outpost adjacent to the burned trees and field. When the CPTers arrived on the scene, an Israeli fire truck was spraying water on the surrounding land. The property owner reported that a Palestinian fire truck had put out the fire. One of the owners who has a shop near the CPT apartment had alerted the CPTers.
