Smoke and Fire Smell in Boro Park as Blaze Destroys Three Jewish Homes in Flatbush

By Idy Perl

Disaster struck in Flatbush today when a devastating fire completely engulfed a three-family house on E 4th Street in Flatbush. 

Within minutes the blaze had completely overtaken the structure, and angry flames were shooting out from all sides. Thick smoke filled the air and could be felt all the way in Boro Park. 

FDNY quickly responded to the scene and battled the fire, but the blaze had already done its damage and reduced the home to a charred skeleton. 

Baruch Hashem no injuries were reported, and everyone was safely evacuated. The Red Cross Disaster Action Team is currently en-route  to provide relief.
