Oy my deli roll!?
Is the new part of the building on fire as well??
Omg is that why there are so many fire sounds now?? Delta was how damaged ??
🙁
Who burnt the cholent!?
OK – so far I see five comments. One more inane than the other. Have you no seichel? This is someone’s parnossoh, Hatzola is probably there, and there are firefighters risking their lives – and not for your (#$) deli roll, but for the people of Lakewood. Say something kind. Or at least something sensible. Anyone in the world can read this; may they realize these previous comments are from bored boors, not our elite. And I thank all involved in helping bring under control and put out this fire
Thanx to all the fire fighters that got out of bed smack in middle of the night to battle this fire.
It was cold and rainy, and they lost an hour due to clock change.
Thanx again.
Thank you also to the multiple agencies that responded.
Chaverierm was instrumental in assisting with evacuating the bmg dormitory.
Thanx to LPD and LFA as well.
I wish them hatzlacha. May hashem pay them back for all their losses.
Oy vey! Its someone’s business!! I hope they get things fixed up soon!
GO Ralpheeeee.
Nebech, I feel so bad for the owners. It is so hard when your parnasah goes up in smoke like that. B’H no one was hurt there or in the dormitory. Meanwhile I hope insurance goes through quickly and that they can get Back on their feet soon
oh my just needed more bread! hope it opens up really really soon
you need ypur bread! you also need sichel!
Its such a shame, they really had the best chicken egg rolls.
B’h no one was hurt. All the different vendors effected, wow. May they rebuild and recover quickly.
I firmly believe that although TLS has the option whether or not to post some of these stupid, insensitive comments, they choose to do so in order to bring out the sanity of the normal commentators.
May the owners recover and get back on their feet soon!
Take a chill no one was hurt.. insurance will cover everything plus…
There are some seriously sad men and boys in this town over this…hope they get back up and running soon!
Baruch Hashem no one got hurt- thank you to all those that helped the fire dep., hatzolah, chaverim, police- Thank you Hashem I was able to speak to my brother in the Irv to find out that everyone was and is ok
Why is Gulf being blamed for this fire “Delta engulfed in flames” they had nothing to do with it . But it should certainly help our business!
I know the owners will be fine being that they probably have insurance but what about all of the workers who lost their parnasa.
I would like to say thank you to the LFD for the tremendous “stop” that they accomplished. This fire could have been much worse including the aspect of severe extension and damage to the new construction along with the BMG dorm. Great job LFD.
I love how everyone is saying thank you to Hatzolah for being there.
I was there and did not see any Hatozlah members there.
There was Lakewood EMS, and the Lakewoos First Aid which has a lot of Jewish member so people automatically think they are Hatzolah.
