Firefighters from multiple towns in North Jersey are on the scene of a large fire in Rutherford that has destroyed a Jewish community center.

The fire broke out just before 3 a.m. at 185 Montross Ave. The building is home to Beth El Chabad, which houses the Jewish Community Center of the Meadowlands. Flames and smoke could be seen from other towns as the fire continued to spread.

Dozens of fire crews responded to help Rutherford firefighters battle the blaze including East Rutherford, Passaic, Moonachie and Saddle Brook, among others.

The borough of Rutherford posted a notice on Facebook around 3:50 a.m. saying there is a "large structure fire currently being fought at the corner of Montross and Fairview Aves. Residents in the immediate vicinity are advised to be on the lookout for embers falling in their property and call 911 immediately if a fire starts."

The borough said all emergency services were at the scene and advised residents to avoid the area.

The fire was concentrated in the old Victorian home that was part of the complex and housed the rabbi and his family. A total of six people escaped the flames unharmed.

This isn’t the first time the center has been the scene of a fire. In 2012, two people were arrested for firebombing the synagogue and causing extensive damage. The cause of today's is unknown at this time.

Firefighters are still on the scene working on hotspots and smoldering embers.
