A fire ripped through the “Paradise manor” Simcha hall in Boro Park, Tuesday evening.
The fire started just after 7:00PM at the hall, located at 5802 New Utrecht Avenue near 58th Street. Shortly after the FDNY arrived, they requested a second alarm response, due to the heavy fire conditions inside the hall. Around 20 minutes later, a third alarm response was requested. A fourth alarm was requested at 8:20PM, as additional FDNY manpower was still needed to fight the blaze.
The FDNY tells YWN that the structure is a “three story mix used building with two residential units and one commercial unit.”
The fire originated on the second floor and extended onto the third floor.
Boro Park Hatzolah and Boro park Shomrim were on the scene as well. No injuries were reported.

What bothers me more about these clips and pictures is the poor state of the tracks. They need attention.
Etzhar: The structure needs to be sanded down and repainted. The structure itself was put up in 1917 and is solid.
