No one was injured in the blaze, which was first reported to Georgian Court security at about 4:30 p.m., said Sgt. John Stillwell of the Lakewood Police Department.
After school security officials confirmed there was a fire, a general alarm was sounded and the Lakewood Fire Department responded. They found a fully involved fire at a single-family home.
Members of the Lakewood and Hatzolah first aid squads also responded to the scene, but were not needed.
Firefighters were continuing cleanup operations at 7:30 p.m. and the Ocean County Fire Marshall's Office is investigating. [APP]
is this a house which has a kollel attatched to it?
The house belongs to Rabbi Ribner, Rosh Hayeshiva from Nesivos Hatorah. A yeshiva in Staten Island.
I live in Lakewood and heard the sounds of many fire engines late Shabbos afternoon, after 6:00. I also smelled smoke. I wonder if that was because of the fire on 7th St. I live about a mile north of there.
