Devastating Fire Broke Out in Apartment Building

By Y.M. Lowy

A fire broke out Sunday evening on the fifth floor of an apartment building at 1314 46th Street, prompting a swift response from firefighters and Hatzolah.

Flames and smoke poured from the windows as the fire department used ladders to check on residents after reports of people trapped on the upper floors. The building was evacuated as emergency crews worked to bring the blaze under control.

After the flames were extinguished, Chaveirim volunteers stepped in to help with the cleanup, assisting residents by removing valuables and clearing debris.
