Chasdei Hashem. As flames tore through a home on Park Avenue early this morning, police officers and neighbors rushed to get residents out of nearby homes. Within minutes, people were out and everyone was accounted for.

According to officials and neighbors who spoke to TLS, an estimated 60-70 people were evacuated from roughly 8-10 neighboring homes, possibly more. Those numbers are preliminary, not an official count.

Residents speaking with TLS described the escape as pure Nissim.

Neighbors can be seen running in the streets to wake up others, and some ran into homes to help people get out.

Residents who spoke to TLS recounted how close the escape was in several homes.

In one home bordering the fire, an elderly man who had been awake heard banging on his door and initially thought it was teenagers. Had he been asleep, he might not have woken so easily. The man, who was with his wife, had difficulty walking over the tracks and would not leave until a firefighter got his Tefillin out of the house. He is okay.

In another house, the downstairs resident woke to smoke detectors and saw orange outside the window. He ran to the dining room to grab his wife’s laptop, which she uses as a teacher. Then, he said, the electric fuse box exploded. He rushed to get his family and saw flames in his bedroom.

The upstairs resident woke to a bright orange wall of crackling fire. He grabbed his whole family and got everyone out.

Another man was returning from learning when he saw the fire. He began banging on doors to wake residents and get them out.

Police officers, firefighters and neighbors moved quickly to get people to safety.

A total of six families were displaced due to damage from either smoke, fire, or water as a result of the blaze.

TLS has learned that lithium-ion devices found at the scene are being investigated as a possible cause. The cause has not been confirmed.
