A group of Jewish firefighters are being hailed as heroes after saving a taxi driver’s life in Kiryas Joel.
The taxi driver was traveling on Meron Drive in the overwhelming Chasidic town when he crashed into a cement barricade, causing his vehicle to burst into flames.
Stunned and screaming bystanders watched helplessly as the taxi as the flames began licking ever closer to the trapped driver, threatening to kill or severely injure him.
But swiftly responding Chasidic firefighters arrived in moments to save the day. Quickly deploying their tools, they managed to get the blaze under control and extract the driver from the doomed vehicle before the flames could reach him.

If you run a town that’s kind of your job. Firefighters are heroes.
This is the community that the ny slimes attacked that went out of their way put themselves in danger for a stranger. this is conduct that is an out growth of what is taught in Hasidic schools.
