What could have been a devastating electrical fire was quickly contained by the Kiryas Joel Fire Department last night, preventing the flames from spreading throughout an entire building on Karlsburg Road.

The fire broke out at approximately 6:21 p.m. on the third floor of the building, prompting a large emergency response. Kiryas Joel firefighters rushed into the structure through multiple entry points, including the main entrance and the roof, working quickly to bring the fire under control.

Thanks to the swift and coordinated actions of the Kiryas Joel Fire Department, firefighters were able to stop the fire from spreading, potentially saving the entire building from burning down and protecting many lives.

Although one of sections of the building sustained some significant damage, the fire was quickly  contained before it could spread throughout the rest of the structure.

Kiryas Joel Hatzalah, New York State Police, and Orange County Chaveirim also responded to the scene, assisting during the large emergency response.

No burn injuries were reported at the scene, while some were treated and checked for smoke inhalation. The cause of the fire remains unknown as officials continue investigating the cause.
