A fire broke out at the Kever of the Skulener Rebbe in Monsey, Sunday afternoon.

The Yartzheit of the Rebbe was this past Friday (Erev Rosh Chodesh Elul). Thousands have been at the kever davening the past few days, and many have been lighting candles in an enclosed box placed near the Kever.

There is a small room next to the Kever where people can Daven in the winter and rain, and on Sunday afternoon, the heat from the candles seems to have caught the roof on fire of this small structure.

There were no injuries reported.
