Just in. A fire has just broken out at the Breslov Shteebel, which is in a basement on 6th Street between Forest and Madison. The people living upstairs smelled smoke and ran downstairs to check. Apparently the fire started from a candle burning in the Shul. One of the occupants grabbed a fire extinguisher and quickly put it out, but not before burning parts of the Aron Kodesh and Amud.
U/D 1:55 a.m. FD has arrived moments ago. There is heavy smoke coming from the Shul at this time.
U/D 2:05 a.m. The FD is currently ventilating the Shul. B’H all occupants made it out safely and the Sifrei Torah were unharmed.

Is this a legal Shul? was the basement finished with a permit? If it was, did it have a change of use. If not, there will be heads rolling. Let this be a warning for people to play straight when it comes to finishing their basements. Boruch Hashem noone was hurt!!
it is very legal
for some reason in lakewood people always think negetive about everything, is it legal? was there change of use? etc.
