A massive fire broke out in Felders shul in Boro Park on 18th Ave. and 49th St., early Wednesday morning. The shul, which was located on the first floor of a residential building, was destroyed in the flames, but, baruch Hashem, all the people in the residential apartments were rescued. Several people were transported to the hospital to check for smoke inhalations, but no serious injuries were reported.
