Seaside Park, NJ - An official says a raging boardwalk fire
has taken out virtually all boardwalk businesses in a New Jersey town that is
still recovering from Superstorm Sandy.
Seaside Park Councilwoman Nancy Koury told The Associated
Press that Thursday’s fire took out about 32 businesses. She says no serious
injuries were reported.
Koury says the fire began in a frozen custard stand on the
Seaside Park section of the boardwalk and quickly spread north into neighboring
Seaside Heights.
Firefighters are still trying to get the raging fire under
control as flames leap into the sky and thick plumes of smoke blanket the
beachfront.
The fire burned much of the boardwalk that was just rebuilt
in time for Memorial Day after being wrecked by Superstorm Sandy.
