A Haredi family from Washington, D.C. survived a house fire on Tuesday morning with only light injuries, after their seven daughters jumped from the second floor to escape the blaze, according to a report from the Israeli outlet Behadrei Haredim (B'CHadrei).
The fire consumed the family's home. All nine family members — the parents and seven daughters — were evacuated to a local hospital with minor injuries. The report did not specify the cause of the fire or whether the fire department's investigation is underway.
