Firefighters arrived on scene to find heavy smoke coming from a large Synagogue. The fire appeared to be in the attic and they made an offensive attack, ventilating the roof and conducting a primary search. The fire was controlled and all materials were either removed and given to the rabbi or covered with plastic. The fire appeared to have started on the exterior and HFD Arson and the ATF were contacted to determine the cause and origin of the fire. Crews from Stations 82, 2, 28, 68, 37, 48, 51, 60, Rescue 10 and 24 responded to this incident.
