Also they took out a second stetcher and were running twords the house. If you look at the house you can see very dense smoke coming out of the house. hashem yeracheim. further details forthcoming…
They just broke a window
It was bad, but it’s under control. Everyone’s OK, though, B”H. Even the smoke is basically not visible anymore.
the gas company is there and i am not sure though if gas is th cause the fireman are getting ready to leave
The BIGGEST anav:
The gas company as well as the electric company are always called down when there is a structured fire that takes down a home. It is standard protocol.
Owner of this home is choshuve R”M in BMG – huge Talmid Chochom.
I just knew Yeshiva World would post about this. Boy was it scary to see every emergency vehicle in Lakewood rush past my house with the most blearing sirens ever. It was quite a scare and glad to hear everyone’s ok B”H.
WERE THERE ANY INJURIES?
