A fire torched parts of the UCSB Chabad House yesterday, leaving the rabbi’s residence with extensive damage.
According to Capt. Eli Iskow of the Santa Barbara Fire Dept., the fire began at noon in a bedroom at 779 Camino Pescadero – the new UCSB Chabad House. Parts of the first and second floors were completely scorched by the flames.
“The mother started screaming, ‘the house is on fire!’ and everyone got out in a hurry,” Iskow said. “Smoke alarms had a great deal to do with them getting out in time.”
Iskow said the blaze caused major damage to the structure – one room was entirely charred and most of the possessions throughout the house were ruined by smoke.
Initial reports linked the blaze to a candle, Iskow said.

Was it an arson fire?
Was it an arson fire?
Don’t be naive! CHABAD has been made a prime target of the Moslem terrorists.
Although I’m not CHABAD, and neither are you, to paraphrase President John F. Kennedy:
WE ARE ALL CHABAD NOW!
Let me guess this was done by one of the “diverse” groups on campus like Muslims
Didn’t the article say they think it was due to a candle?
Quiet, jlq3d3. Great minds are at work. Why bother reading what the article says when you can come up with something better on your own?
