UPDATED [VIDEO 1 – VIDEO 2] An early morning fire destroyed a Lakewood today.
The East 9th Street home fire broke out shortly 6 AM and was fully engulfed.
Sources tell TLS the home hosted Bachurim from a nearby Yeshivah.
The blaze was brought under control around 6:30 AM, but the home was destroyed.
While the home was still burning, Bachruim and nearby residents were seen dancing to the song of ‘Chasdei Hashem’, thankful that nobody was trapped in the blaze (see video below).
Families from nearby homes came out shortly after the fire to bring clothing for the Bachurim to wear.
The fire reportedly started from a space heater.
One firefighter suffered minor burns, officials said.
The Fire Marshal’s office is investigating.
