A fast-moving fire broke out on Friday morning in a residence of bochurim at 658 Eastern Parkway, near Brooklyn Avenue, leaving seven people injured—some critically.
The fire ignited around 10:20 AM, trapping several victims inside the burning home. Due to the severity of the situation and the number of patients, Crown Heights Hatzolah requested additional ambulances from Williamsburg and Flatbush to assist in the emergency response.
Three of the victims are reported to be in critical condition, with one suffering third-degree burns over 75% of his body. Victims were transported to Cornell Hospital in Manhattan, Kings County Hospital in Brooklyn, and Maimonides Hospital in Brooklyn.
The cause of the fire remains unknown, and fire marshals are currently investigating the scene.
Please say Tehillim for Shmuel ben Devorah Leah, Shmuel ben Merav, Hillel ben Hila Feiga, and Boruch Yehuda ben Yehudis.
