HORRIFIC UPDATE: Three Sifrei Torah R”L Destroyed In Pomona Heights Shul Fire

A massive fire destroyed a Shul in Pomona Heights, early Wednesday morning. Tragically, three Sifrei Torah were destroyed in the blaze.

The “Chassidim at 110 Shul” located at the corner of North Ridge Road and Overlook Road, was quickly engulfed in flames, after a propane tank reportedly exploded at around 5:45am, as Monsey Scoop Reported

Bichasdei Hashem, the shul was unoccupied at the time of the blaze, preventing any injuries.

Despite the quick spread of the flames, emergency response teams were unable to retrieve the Sifrei Torah in time. The Sifrei Torah were, however, stored in a fully fireproof safe. At around 12:30PM, emergency authorities requested Rockland Chaveirim to enter the site and open the safe. Sadly, three Sifrei Torah were destroyed. Sources tell Monsey Scoop that it was mainly from water damage.
