Almost Forty Lubavitch Girls Injured, Three Seriously, In Jerusalem Seminary Fire
by CrownHeights.info
Nearly forty Lubavitch girls learning in the Ohr Chaya Seminary in Jerusalem were injured when a fire broke out in their dormitory Monday.
According to a report on Ynet, emergency responders rushed to the building and rescued many of the girls from inside the building. The building’s security guard was also injured after entering the burning building to help trapped girls.
Three of the injured were listed in serious condition.
MDA Motorcycle Unit EMT Eliyahu Ben Hemo recounted: “We reached the scene with a large force and we saw a lot of smoke coming out of the building. We joined forces with the firefighters who brought us victims who were inside the building. We began an initial screening of all victims. All victims were fully conscious, we saw three victims in severe condition, two in moderate condition suffering from smoke inhalation, and several young people who were walking near the building. We began administering initial medical treatment while loading them onto MDA ambulances and taking them to various hospitals in the city.”
Dr. Aryeh Yafeh, a volunteer physician at United Hatzalah, and paramedics Ariel Dreyi and Ze’ev Klein reported: “We are dealing with a fire in a residential building, part of which is a high school for girls. We provided initial medical assistance on the scene to a large number of victims, including 12 girls who were evacuated by United Hatzalah ambulances. Additionally, medical assistance was provided at the scene to three individuals in serious condition, two girls in moderate condition, and the rest in light condition. Large firefighting forces operated at the scene to extinguish the flames and rescue those trapped from the burning building.”

Am I the only one who noticed the inscription on the ambulance car in the main picture???? it says there “Sponsored by the members of Beis Menachem in memory of the Lubavitcher Rebbe.
Nice to see that a vehicle sponsored by the Chabad shul was used for the rescue.

The dormitory was padlocked that is why so many girls got injured

Shout out to crown heightser Yosef Nagar who charged in and saved many
A friend of a dormant champion!!
Credit to Yosef Nagar and 2 other gentlemen!!!!
The reports are fabricated. Plenty of people were there to know what actually happened. The fire department and EMS showed up late enough that if there wasn’t any heroes running in and out while smashing their way through metal and plumes of heat and smoke thick black smoke pulling girls out there would have been at least 20 dead!
Yosef is a king.
