A fire broke out in Yeshiva D’Rockland just before noon on Thursday. The Yeshiva is located at 2 East Funston Drive, which is just off Route 59 and Route 45 in Spring valley. The building on fire is reportedly the dormitory of the Yeshiva.
Numerous fire departments – including Nanuet, Spring Valley, and Hillcrest – are on the scene along with Hatzolah of Rockland County.
All occupants were safely evacuated from the building, and the Sifrei Torah have been removed as well.
It does not appear there are any serious injuries, although Hatzolah is transporting one person to a local hospital.
Further details will be published when they are available.
