Firefighters and multiple emergency personnel responded Wednesday morning at approximately 9:35 a.m. to a fire at the Viznitzer Matzah Bakery on Crest Court, where a chimney fire extended to the roof above the matzah oven.
The Monsey Fire Department responded swiftly and worked aggressively to bring the fire under control. Mutual aid was provided by Hillcrest, Spring Valley, and Tallman Fire Departments, while Orangetown and Suffern Fire Departments were placed on standby.
Ramapo Police, Chaverim of Rockland volunteers, and Spring Hill EMS were also on the scene assisting.
Thanks to the rapid response, firefighters were able to contain the flames and prevent further spread. The scene was fully cleared by approximately 10:45 a.m.
Following the incident, damage was reported to be limited to the roof area, and matzah baking operations resumed shortly thereafter as usual.
