Shortly before Shabbos, a fast moving fire ripped through a Jewish-owned home in the Kensington section of Brooklyn – between Flatbush and Boro Park.

FDNY tells YWN that the fire started at 413 E 3rd Street, near Avenue C at around 5:45PM.

The fire quickly escalated to a second, and then a third alarm blaze, as a neighboring home caught fire.

An elderly Jewish woman was pulled out of the home, and rushed to the hospital by Flatbush Hatzolah in critical condition.
