Just in. A fire has just broken out at the Breslov Shteebel, which is in a basement on 6th Street between Forest and Madison. The people living upstairs smelled smoke and ran downstairs to check. Apparently the fire started from a candle burning in the Shul. One of the occupants grabbed a fire extinguisher and quickly put it out, but not before burning parts of the Aron Kodesh and Amud.U/D 1:55 a.m. FD has arrived moments ago. There is heavy smoke coming from the Shul at this time.
U/D 2:05 a.m. The FD is currently ventilating the Shul. B'H all occupants made it out safely and the Sifrei Torah were unharmed.
