Fire in the Razag Ballroom

At around 6:00pm on Friday the automatic fire alarm went off calling the Fire Dept. down for a fire in the Kitchen Area, since the hall is a school as well (Bnos Menachem) an “all hands” was call and nearly 30 different Fire Trucks showed up.

The fire had been put out by the buildings sprinkler system and all that was left was a lot of smoke in the kitchen, the Fire Chief called the fire a suspicious fire due to the fact that that part of the kitchen is labeled ‘pantry’ but is right above the stoves in the ‘Fleishig Kitchen’, the final on the fire is that it seems to have been due to a fault in some of the electrical wiring.
