Chabad Shul in Pomona Goes Up in Flames

By COLlive reporter

The Chassidim 110 – Chabad Shul in Pomona, NY, located at 34 Northridge Road, burned completely in a devastating early morning fire on Wednesday.

Neighbors captured the flames on video a little before 6:00 am. The fire quickly spread and engulfed much of the building.

Firefighters were on the scene and worked to get the fire under control.

The Shul’s leadership said that the Torahs are stored in a safe, but they have not been able to enter the building to determine their condition.

Residents are devastated by the loss of other holy articles, such as Tefillin, seforim and more.

The fire spread to brush behind the home as firefighters worked to contain the blaze, ABC reported. The cause of the fire is still unknown.
There were no immediate reports of injuries.
